Welcome to the Friendliest Little Airport in Michigan!
This quiet, country airport is the place where hundreds of people first experienced aviation, took flight training, and earned their pilot certificates. Located in rural Macomb County, 20 miles north of Detroit, the airport was originally known as New Haven Macomb.
Over the decades we've steadily grown and improved. Construction of new hangars, a major runway upgrade in 1999, a name change to Ray Community Airport in 2002, taxiway improvements and construction of even more hangars, and a completely remodeled airport office with pilot lounge have all produced a vibrant airport with modern facilities and a solid pilot base. And we're not finished yet!

IMPORTANT UPDATES
Clean-Up Day
Saturday, May 12, was our annual clean-up day. Over 20 volunteers armed with rakes, shovels, and weed whackers helped polish the already brilliant gem our little airport has become.
Grading and seeding low areas, cleaning out ditches, grass mowing and installing new signage were just a few of the many projects completed on an overcast, but pleasant day.
Thanks to everyone for your help in making Ray Community just a little bit better, especially Gregg Stockman for leading the charge. We welcome volunteer help all year, not just on clean-up day.
New Benches
Two new benches were installed in front of the office creating a more comfortable viewing spot from which to observe airport operations. The benches were donated by the DeWitt family in memory of their parents Bill and Irene.
