Detroit is home to the busiest airport in the state of Michigan. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (KDTW) is the second largest Delta Airlines hub in terms of daily flights.
Detroit Metro and the many other smaller airports make this a complex and busy environment for pilots. Even outside of the downtown’s boundaries, there are some fascinating sights from the air: the Dearborn test track, a military airport on the shores of Lake St. Clair, and islands with airports scattered along the St. Clair and Detroit rivers. These islands are home to thousands of vacation homes that can often only be reached by air or boat.
