Detroit Staycation Idea: Lunch at Mettetal Airport

Plymouth-Canton Mettetal Airport is home to small planes. It is owned by Michigan and open to the public. In fact, there are picnic tables located close to the runway that allow visitors to enjoy the take off and landing of ultralights, Cessnas, powered parachutes and even a T-18 Tiger.

If you find your imagination captured, free flights for kids are available through EAA Chapter 113's Young Eagles, and flying lessons are available through Kitze Aviation.
