I had 2 AC-130 Gunships fly overhead today. We rarely see military aircraft overfly this area. If we do its usually Coast Guard going from Selfridge to Grand Haven and back or heavy lift helos. We do see the B17 flying out of Willow Run a couple times per summer.

Theyve closed the AFB in Michigan. K.I. Sawyer SAC base is closed, Alpena is now a Readiness Flight Training Center for the National Guard and Selfridge is a National Guard and Coast Guard Base. And then there is Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center that services the NG of three or four States in the region and Fort Custer (yes that Custer, he was from Battle Creek) is now NG too. No active military bases left.
