The airport has a main paved runway (5/23) and an intersecting grass runway (12/30).

The airport is used for general aviation and has no regularly scheduled commercial flights. It is quite popular with ultralight aircraft. The airport is also home to the Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 1242.

With the failure of a millage, the airport will remove its runway by October 1, 2020 and will no longer support fixed wing aircraft.[1][2]

The EAA Chapter 1242 was disbanded due to failure to comply with National EEA by-laws; the chapter was conducting Mile high club flights for profit.
