Great Lakes Airspace
The sky over your land is about to start paying you.
The sky over your land is about to start paying you.
Delivery drones are coming to rural Michigan. They need a road — and that road runs through the low sky over farms and homes like yours. This short film explains the whole idea.
Then your land sits under Corridor One — the first Great Lakes Airspace route we are building, running from the Millington area to Clio. The letter is real, and so is the offer behind it: we are signing up landowners along the route who want to get paid for the low sky over their property.
Nothing to buy. Nothing to build. The drones never land on your land — they pass high overhead, 100 to 400 feet up, on their way through. Email us and we will send you the simple interest sheet. It is not a contract — it just tells us you want to hear more.
Three simple steps. Plain language the whole way — that is a promise.
Email us and ask for the interest sheet. Signing it is not a contract and does not sign away anything — it just puts your name on the list for your corridor.
When your corridor is ready, you get the full easement agreement in plain language. Take it home. Your own attorney can read it before anyone signs — we insist on it.
Signed landowners get paid for the use of the low sky over their land. The first payment comes when the flights begin over your corridor.
This is the real map — built from county records, parcel by parcel. If your place sits under the orange band, your sky is on the route.
From the same home base in Millington, ten more delivery anchors sit within 25 miles — and every route to them is already mapped. Walmart and Tractor Supply in Clio. Bronner's and the CVS in Frankenmuth. Meijer in Birch Run and Saginaw. Walgreens in Vassar. Walmart, Tractor Supply, and McLaren hospital in Caro. Every one of those lines crosses somebody's sky — and those owners get asked, and get paid, the same way.
In 1946, the United States Supreme Court said it plainly: a landowner owns the low sky right above their land — the airspace they can use and enjoy. That is not our opinion. That is the law of the land, older than the interstate highways.
Today, companies are preparing to fly delivery routes through that low sky. Great Lakes Airspace exists so the families who own that sky get asked first — and get paid.
We are assembling licensed, landowner-approved corridors in Michigan — real routes, signed and recorded, that operators can actually plan on. If you run delivery drones, or you're building a company that will, we should talk.
Great Lakes Airspace is part of Penny & Co. — a Michigan family business. When we're not building sky corridors, we're writing books and hunting rare pennies.
Our flagship book on Lincoln cent errors and varieties — the real coins, the real stories, in plain language.

We're opening a drone pilot course: learn to fly, pass the FAA Part 107 commercial license exam, and learn the work that pays — roof inspections, real estate, farm scouting. And here's the hook: the license you earn is yours. Pass the test and you can fly for anybody — roofers, realtors, farmers, film crews, any company in America. And our graduates also go on the Great Lakes Airspace pilot roster — when our corridors open and need licensed pilots, they get the first call.
The full online course: every Part 107 lesson, practice exams until you're ready, hands-on flying skills, and the safety habits that keep you legal. Self-paced, on your phone or computer. Pass the FAA test and the license is yours — fly for anybody. Graduates also join our pilot roster.
Everything in Pilot, plus the Business Launch Kit — pricing jobs, client scripts, insurance basics — and a hands-on flight-training day with us in Millington. For pilots who want paying clients of their own, too.
Everything in Pro, plus six months of monthly mentorship and first call — ahead of the whole roster — when paid corridor flying opens. First 10 seats only.

Founding enrollment is open now — seats sell at the founding price, locked, and your pilot-roster spot is held in the order payments arrive. The course itself opens when the founder's own FAA Part 107 license is in hand; lessons release module by module after that. And your money carries our guarantee: founding students get a full refund any time before opening day, no questions asked — plus 7 days after the course opens to look it over, same promise. Straight talk: the course teaches the license and the work; it does not promise anyone an income. What you build with it is yours.
