Martin Steiner sent in the photo taken by Raven G. Coates and a note: The ‘pot of gold’ in this photo is Candler Field near Williamson, Georgia. The Peach State Aerodrome is a recreation of Atlanta’s original airport from the 1920s and includes hangars, a restoration shop, and a museum.
It was home to Ron Alexander, known as the “quiet giant” of vintage aviation. The field hosts a number of vintage fly-ins during the year, he added.

Actually, if you look on the sectional you won’t find peachstate aerodrome anymore. They changed the airport name to Alexander Memorial.
