Brooklyn Airport (FAA LID: 6G8), also known as Shamrock Field, is a privately-owned, public-use airport located in Brooklyn, Michigan, United States. It is at an elevation of 987 feet. The airfield opened in December 1975, although the sign at the entrance of the airport says it was established on the bicentennial date of July 4, 1976. Facilities and aircraft The airport has one runway, designated as Runway 1/19. It measures 2822 x 100 ft (860 x 30 m) and is made of turf. For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2021, the airport had 552 aircraft operations, an average of 46 per month. It's composed entirely of general aviation. For the same time period, one aircraft is based at the airport, a single-engine airplane. Airport facilities include parking hangars and tiedowns. There is no fixed base operator at the airport. Accidents and incidents On September 27, 1997, a Luscombe 8A was destroyed when it impacted powerlines while approaching Shamrock Field. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot's failure to see and avoid the wires. On July 26, 1998, a Cessna 172M Skyhawk received substantial damage following in-flight collisions with a power line and terrain during climb out from Shamrock Field. A witness reported seeing a Cessna 172 approach to land at Shamrock Field. The aircraft touched down about midfield but was too fast. The witness further stated that at approximately 600 ft from the runway end, the pilot attempted a go-around. The witness then saw the flaps being retracted when the aircraft passed over the road and went on to say that the aircraft appeared to struggle while trying to get over the high tension power lines, but went between the top ground wire and the next wire down. The aircraft was banking to the right and caught the right wing tip on the second wire. The aircraft rolled upside down and crashed. The probable cause was found to be that the proper touchdown point was not attained and the visual lookout was not maintained by the pilot-in-command. On June 24, 2001, a Piper PA-28 was substantially damaged when the pilot landed long and the airplane overran the end of the runway at Shamrock Field. According to the pilot's written statement, he had initially mistaken the taxiway, located to the left side of the runway, for runway 01 and had identified the correct runway while
