Tecumseh Airfield

Urban encroachment and economic factors. The land, located in a growing suburban area east of Windsor, became more valuable for residential development than for private aviation. The owner sold the property to developers.

The site has been completely redeveloped into a residential housing subdivision. There are no physical remnants of the runway or hangars. The subdivision's street names pay homage to the site's aviation history and its former owner, with names including Marentette Drive, Wright Court, Curtiss Avenue, Lockheed Court, and Fairchild Crescent.

Tecumseh Airfield, also known as Marentette Field after its owner George Marentette, was a private general aviation airport. It was established sometime before 1966 and served the local aviation community for several decades. The airfield featured a single turf runway, approximately 2,600 feet long, oriented roughly east/west. It primarily handled small, single-engine private aircraft for recreational flying and provided hangar space for local pilots. It was a characteristic example of a small, privately-owned grass airstrip that supported a local flying community before being overtaken by suburban expansion.

None. The land has been permanently and fully redeveloped with residential homes and infrastructure, making any prospect of reopening as an airfield impossible.
