Ontonagon County Airport, also known as Schuster Field (ICAO: OGM, FAA LID: OGM), is a county-owned public-use airport located 3 miles (5 km) west of the central business district of Ontonagon, Michigan, a village in Ontonagon County, Michigan, United States. It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2021–2025, in which it is categorized as a basic general aviation facility.
Although most airports in the United States use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and International Air Transport Association (IATA), this airport is assigned OGM by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA. It is the westernmost U.S. airport in the Eastern Time Zone.
In 2018, the airport was the base for a search and rescue training mission run by the US Navy and the Air National Guard. MH-60 Sea Hawk Helicopters and A-10 Thunderbolts operated at the airport as part of the mission.
