Michael Airfield's sole runway, 10/28, was 2,500 feet (760 m) long with a grooved asphalt surface.[1] According to the Federal Aviation Administration's airport master record for Michael Airfield, issued following a September 27, 2006 inspection, runway markings for 10/28 were very faded and the field was unattended.[1] The airport, which sits beneath Syracuse Hancock International Airport's Class C airspace, was established in December 1944.[2][3] In the 1990s, the little used airport was unable to cover its taxes and put up for sale for US$500,000.[4]
The airport, now owned by David Pizio, was listed in the third addition of John Purner's book The $100 Hamburger: A Guide to Pilots' Favorite Fly-in Restaurants.[1][3] A $100 Hamburger is aviation slang referring to a meal eaten at an airport or nearby restaurant following a general aviation flight made by a pilot who, looking for an excuse to fly, decides to eat at a non-local airport.[5]
