Heading to the Upper Peninsula for today's postcard! 🌲✈️
This postcard captures the quiet atmosphere of the Iron Mountain airport. I love the functional beauty of these twin arched hangars and the scattered light aircraft waiting on the grass. It’s a wonderful look at how aviation connected even the more remote parts of Michigan during the mid-20th century.
