Wexford County Airport needs volounteers to help run the 6th Annual Wings & Wheels event on August 29, 2026 from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Our biggest need is for volunteers to drive the parking shuttles from the parking area to the event entrance. Please send you name, email and phone number to Keith Newell at [email protected]. This is a great family-fun event building awareness of aviation career paths in the youth of northern Michigan. If you can't volunteer, you can still come and enjoy the event. Thank you!

The FAASTeam seminar that was scheduled in July and cancelled due to the IFR conditions created by wildfire smoke has been rescheduled.
Have you been looking for a reason to fly anywhere? Get in your aircraft and fly to Cadillac on Thursday, August 20th at 6:00 PM for the first of many FAASTeam seminars to be held at the brand new Wexford County Airport Pavilion. Knock some of that dust off the wings and fly where you can network with other pilots, learn from aviation experts and have fun the entire time.
When you arrive, taxi to the west ramp and park. Walk into the new Pavilion and enjoy the gathering. Earn credits towards the WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program. If your airplane is in for an annual, drive to the Wexford County Airport. Either way, it will still be fun.
See the attached brochure. Also, let us know what you would like to hear in the future. We might as well make these discussions enjoyable while educational.

Do you need an excuse to get the kids out of the house while someone wraps their Christmas gifts? Take them to the Wexford County Airport on Christmas Eve and let them talk to Santa on ham radio.

Cadillac’s ham radio club is once again partnering with the Wexford County Airport to provide kids of all ages the exciting opportunity to talk to Santa Claus using an amateur radio transceiver on December 24 from noon to 2:00 pm at the airport.

This is our third year of providing this exciting and unique opportunity for kids, and each year more children show up,” Lyn Cryderman, president of the Wexaukee Amateur Radio Club said. “And not just kids. Last year a couple of moms grabbed the microphone and gave Santa their wish lists.”

Thanks to the Wexford County Airport Board, all guests can enjoy cookies and cocoa. And while they wait for their turn to talk on the radio, they can actually watch Jolly Old Saint Nick on radar soar from the North Pole to homes all over the globe. Then after talking to Santa, they will receive a certificate proving they actually talked to him. And it’s all free!

“This is just another way in which we want to make the airport a resource for the entire community, Keith Newell, airport manager explained. “Who knows, one of these kids might one day pursue a career in aviation. Santa did…”

Mark your calendars: Wednesday, December 24, noon-2:00 pm at the Wexford County Airport, 8040 E 34 Road (Boon Road), Cadillac, MI.
