Sugar Springs airstrip is a Michigan air strip property jewel tucked away on the northern end of a large golf and water recreation development subdivision in central Michigan. All the home sites around the airstrip have potential for direct runway access, and Google map of the airstrip shows about about half have been developed. Download the 2005 Sugar Springs Community Brochure from the Wiki File Gallery. We're looking to build a stronger pilot community. Contact one of us, and drop by to say hello!

We also have a Yahoo Group for the SugarSpringsAirstrip.

If you're not ready to build a house, all the Sugar Springs lots are setup for easy camping.

Flight Opportunities

If you're interested in learning to fly, or interested in currency training, or just good flight stories and conversation, stop by! I'm a 2600 hour military and civilian pilot, and an FAA Certified Flight Instructor for both powered planes and gliders. I'm interested in basing a homebuilt Sonex Aircraft Xenos motorglider at the field and encouraging others to do the same. This is a low-cost option that works great in mid-Michigan. Glider pilot licenses are unique in that you do not need a medical certification to fly, and this may work perfect for the many retired folks settling into Sugar Springs. Motorgliders are a good mix - slow enough to be enjoyed and inexpensive to operate - fast enough for state-wide or regional transportation (~100 mph plus or minus).
