Rotary Club president David O’Rear, L, welcomes Jerry Cobb, chairman of the Airport Authority, as the speaker at a recent Rotary Club of Peachtree City at luncheon. Cobb took time from his busy schedule to speak to the club. Cobb grew up in south Alabama and attended college at the University of Alabama before entering the USAF, serving as a pilot during the Vietnam conflict. After flying 135 combat sorties over North Vietnam, he returned home to teach missile deployment and tactics to fighter pilots on their way to Vietnam. He spent 33 years in the airline industry and is now retired. Cobb still loves to fly general aviation aircraft after logging 23,000 flying hours over 46 years. During retirement volunteer work has become his hobby. Cobb has served on the Airport Authority since 2000 and has been involved with the Georgia Great Airshow since 2001 and has served as the director since 2002. Photo/Special.
