Oakland County International Airport

Busy, yet calm airport to fly out of. I learned how to fly out of this airport and it is a great learning airport due to traffic and practicing comms.

Oakland County Airshow was amazing. The pilots were fierce in their maneuvers in the sky. Several skydivers also fell from the sky to a safe landing. You were able to bring chairs to sit near the runway outside the roped area. Also wagons to carry you kids snacks, and water. They day was a bit overcast, but all in all the weather was nice. It was cooler than the previous year. That made standing outside bearable. There were a lot of food trucks to feed the masses of Adults and Children. This year (August of 2022) the admission was free along with the parking. They had several bounce houses and blow up slides for the lil ones. Along withe the Airshow, you could make a donation and take a tour of some of the larger cargo or fighter planes from past wars. Helicoptors rides were taking off every 15 minutes w/ four helicoptors available. Attendants all helped in keeping the traffic orderly and pedestrians safe. Food trucks and smaller stands had Lemonade, bar be que, chicken, fish, gyros, Ice Cream, popcorn etc. for your lunch. Plenty of non alcoholic beverages stands too filled with pop, ice tea and water. There were a lot of trash receptacle, so I really didn't see a lot of trash discarded on the ground. Also many porta-johns. The only thing I thought they needed more of were hand washing stations. A lot of people could of used those cause of all the bar be que I saw being eaten. If you go, just bring plenty of wetnaps. Great time, hope to go next year.

There is a lot to offer here. People think it is just a small airport but it is large in spirit and customer service.
