Fuller Heliport

The specific reason for the closure is not officially recorded. It is presumed to be due to private reasons, such as the owner no longer requiring or being able to operate a helicopter. Small, private-use airfields and heliports often close when the property changes ownership or the owner's needs change. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to an accident, regulatory action, or economic failure of a commercial enterprise.

The site at coordinates 42.5623, -83.659103 is now exclusively a large, private residential estate. Satellite imagery shows a substantial house with extensive, well-manicured lawns and outbuildings. While there is ample open space where the helipad was located, there are no longer any visible markings (such as a painted 'H') or dedicated aviation infrastructure. The property is used for purely residential purposes.

Fuller Heliport was a private-use heliport, likely named for its owner. Its primary historical significance is its location, situated directly adjacent to the General Motors Milford Proving Ground, a massive and historically important automotive testing facility. The heliport was likely used for private or corporate transportation, potentially by a General Motors executive or a high-level contractor, allowing for rapid travel to and from the secluded Proving Ground to other corporate offices, such as the GM headquarters in Detroit. Operations would have consisted of non-commercial, Part 91 flights, handling a single light or medium helicopter.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Fuller Heliport. As it was a private facility located on private residential property, any initiative to reopen it would have to come from the current landowner and would be subject to local zoning ordinances and FAA approval. Given its current use as a private residence, the prospect of it returning to aviation use is considered extremely low to non-existent.
