Combs Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. However, the subsequent redevelopment of the land into a residential subdivision strongly suggests the property was sold for its real estate value. This is a common fate for small, privately owned airfields facing economic pressures, rising land values, increasing property taxes, or the owner's retirement.

The site of the former Combs Airport has been completely redeveloped and is no longer recognizable as an airfield. The land where the runway and facilities once stood is now occupied by a residential cul-de-sac with single-family homes. The street built on the former airport property is named 'Combs Court', serving as a tribute to the site's aviation history and its former owner.

Combs Airport was a small, privately owned airfield that served the general aviation community in southeastern Michigan. Established sometime between 1946 and 1955, it was operated by Charles Combs. The airport featured a single turf runway, approximately 2,200 feet long. Its primary operations consisted of supporting light, single-engine aircraft for recreational flying and personal transport, representing a typical example of the numerous small, local airfields that emerged across the United States after World War II.

None. The land has been permanently and fully repurposed for residential use. There is no physical space or infrastructure remaining for an airport, and the presence of a housing development makes any prospect of reopening infeasible.
