I was at the Muskegon Airport on Friday and as my friend and I left the grips of the ground, I notice that runway32/14 and 18/36 are shut down for construction. My understanding is that they are extending the runway. This is good for that will give runway and additional 1000 feet I think to bring in more in line with runway 24/6 which is 6500 feet long. At the present time runway 32/14 is only 5000 feet long. Be able to land those big planes on both these runways (24/6 and 32/14).
I fly about once a week in a Piper Dakota.
With the changes coming to Muskegon, maybe a few people will fly into Muskegon and come to our downtown, beach areas and bring back with them some memories. Some memories that will encourage them to come back again.
Here is a pix from the air of Heritage Landing. I can see Heritage Landing each morning when I wake up and look out my bedroom window. What a great view. Sure beats all those factories of the past.
