Pulling into Atlanta Regional Airport: Falcon Field (KFFC) off Dividend Drive in Peachtree City invariably ignites my memory and accelerates my sense of nostalgia. Being raised in an aviation family generally guarantees you will spend your formidable years pulling chocks and spinning props. The airport is an extension of the home. The third place has a picnic table adjacent to the terminal, and I often take my family there to eat and watch the airplanes depart.
I logged the better part of four decades at Falcon Field, first as a kid awestruck by the airplanes, then as an aircraft engine shop owner conducting business, and now as a journalist.
