This site has been been created for the benefit of every pilot, mechanic, aviation enthusiast and traveller who has ever come into contact with this magical place and enables the visitor to obtain basic information about the airport, view images and keep udated about events happening at the field.

Cushing Field really started when the owner, ex TWA Captain 'Bud' Cushing opened a flying school back in 1983. Since that time the airfield has attracted travellers and adventurers from around the globe, with hundreds of pilots of all nationalities passing through it's hangar doors. At first, light single and muti-engined aircraft were the most numerous types to be seen, but over the past decade these have given way to light sports planes and ultralights.

The field is a private, public access airport, where introductory flights, flight training and aircraft sales are carried out and where general aviation pilots, flying enthusiasts and members of the public are made to feel welcome.

Perhaps your new to flying? If so, you can obtain information and advice on all aspects of the general aviation and sports pilot scene,  including all the flying, licencing and certification requirements.

At over 2800ft in length it's one of the few remaining grass strips able to accomodate most general aviation aircraft and can provide all the facilities required of the visiting pilot, including fuel, oil, maintenance, airframe, engine parts and assessories, tie-downs and storage, plus toilets, space for camping and easy access to local  restaurants and motels.

Cushing Field is also host to the annual trike fest fly-in for trike pilots en-route to the Wisconcin Air Venture Show at Oshkosh (which lies 147.91nm north) with this event growing in popularity every year!
