Cherry Fld (73G) is in Nunica, Michigan. The field elevation is 629 ft MSL. It has one runway, 06/24, which is 1,499 ft of turf. That makes it a short-field stop for light aircraft only. No control tower is published. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks also note that clearance delivery goes through Great Lakes Approach at 269-459-3344. When Approach is closed, use Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921. That is worth having before departure if you need IFR handling.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival. You can also call the field on CTAF for current fuel and service availability. For a first visit, plan for the turf surface, the short runway length and the lack of published precision approach support. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or operating notes before you go.
