Airport History

Buzzwick Airport formally known as Wickenheiser Airport, originated in 1956 by Cletus Wickenheiser. As a WW2 P-51 Mustang Fighter Pilot, LT. Wickenheiser serviced in the European Theater during WW2 escorting Allied bombing missions.

A live long resident of Carleton, Michigan, Cletus returned to Monroe County after the war, working as a contactor in the home construction business while raising 10 children. He was a quiet hero of America's greatest generation.

The Airport's name is a combination of Mr. Wickenheiser's war time call sign "Wick," and the current owners company name Buzzard: Buzzwick.

The Noble family purchased the Airport in 2011, adding hangers, flight school office and facilities.

Come visit us and view Cletus' wartime flight records in the Buzzwick flight school office.
