Michael Airfield's sole runway, 10/28, was 2,500 feet (760 m) long with a grooved asphalt surface. [1] According to the Federal Aviation Administration's airport master record for Michael Airfield, issued following a September 27, 2006 inspection, runway markings for 10/28 were very faded and the field was unattended. [1] The airport, which sits beneath Syracuse Hancock International Airport's Class C airspace, was established in December 1944.

The airport, now owned by David Pizio, was listed in the third addition of John Purner's book The $100 Hamburger: A Guide to Pilots' Favorite Fly-in Restaurants. [1] [3] A $100 Hamburger is aviation slang referring to a meal eaten at an airport or nearby restaurant following a general aviation flight made by a pilot who, looking for an excuse to fly, decides to eat at a non-local airport.
