The Waycross-Ware County Airport

Honoring Our Heroes
Even though Memorial Day was Monday, our community's gratitude doesn't end when the holiday weekend does. We carry that appreciation forward every day for all our service members who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country, and we carry their memory with us every day.

A beautiful piece of this legacy stands at the entrance of the Waycross-Ware County Airport in the Industrial Park. The Waycross Army Airfield Memorial marks where our airport served as an active airfield during World War II (1942–1945). Over the past few weeks, many of our local fourth graders got to discover this history firsthand during their school field trips.

We extend a huge thank you to our airport team—many of whom are former service members themselves—for sponsoring these student tours. By teaching our youth about the patriotism and ultimate sacrifice that shaped Ware County, they ensure that our fallen heroes are never forgotten.

Today, and every day, we remember, we honor, and we hold their legacy close✨

We are super proud of this!

Another proud CFI moment! Today, Rith got to fly a plane all by himself!

Hitting that first solo is a huge accomplishment and big step towards getting his private pilot certificate. Next up, we'll start flying at night, further from home, and hitting the other requirements to get him ready for checkride.

We have had such great food this weekend handed out to the local agencies, the firefighting crews stationed at the Airport and anyone that needed something to eat.

Brad and his team have been over the top with feeding all of us, and we are so thankful for them!!!
