Willow Run, one of aviation's biggest hidden gems. Located just under 10 miles west of Detroit's international airport, Willow Run finds itself stuck in the past being primarily dominated by classic jet traffic. Iconic aircraft such as the Boeing 727 and McDonnell Douglas MD80 dominate the skies with airlines such as Kalitta and USA Jet calling Willow Run home. The smoky trails and thundering roar of those classic JT8D engines once thought to be extinct are common sights and sounds to those living nearby. There truly is no place like Willow Run; seeing (and hearing) these classic jets in action truly never gets old! Sit back and enjoy this blast from the past with over 15 minutes of action from Willow Run!
