first commercial airport - is long gone.except for a marker hidden in the bushes as a reminder.
Packard Field was located on Gratiot Avenue in the Detroit suburb of Roseville.
The year Packard Field opened is a point of contention, but it s believed to be 1919. It became a testing field for Packard s planes and government experiments.
One experiment that was tested here was the three-passenger (and pilot) Stinson Detroiter. Not only was it tested here, but the Stinson Detroiter was the plane that George Hubert Wilkins flew to his Arctic expedition in 1927.
The Michigan State Aviation School also took up space at Packard, where many wanna-be pilots got their licenses.
