On view will

be several twin-engine turboprop and jet aircraft, fire trucks and informational

displays of eight county departments. Members of the Fulton Industrial

Boulevard Association will conduct a mini-job fair and read aviation-related

stories to children in a "Flights of Fancy" story time.

Visitors are

urged to donate similar books in a collection barrel at this event.

Named in part

for a former county commissioner who was instrumental in acquiring the

site in the late 1940s, the 900-acre airport generates fees by serving

as a base for several government agencies and corporate flight operations.

It is one of

the largest general aviation airports in the region, accommodating aircraft

of visiting celebrities and private individuals.

Future plans

at Fulton County Airport-Brown Field call for a privately funded Tuskegee

Airman's museum and aviation career training facility to be built on vacant

land.
