Overview
Selfridge ANGB (KMTC) is a military airfield in Mount Clemens, Michigan, operating as a private-use facility under an air national guard base with an air traffic control tower. The field sits about 23 nm from the Detroit metro area and offers a single paved runway long enough to handle most fixed-wing traffic. Access is restricted, with prior permission required well ahead of arrival, and business aviation volume through the field is modest relative to larger regional airports. Nearest customs processing is available at Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport, roughly 14 nm away, since KMTC does not offer onsite customs.
