Doug Decker submitted the following photo and note: “Young Eagles are ready for a flight in this A-36 Bonanza, which is dwarfed by a C-17 Air Force Globemaster, during National Aviation Week at the Georgetown County Airport (KGGE) in South Carolina. More than 2 million youngsters have flown since 1992 in the Young Eagles program sponsored by the Experimental Aviation Association (EAA). In just one month in Georgetown, more than 100 future pilots got rides!”

I have taken off and landed at Georgetown County Airport. Dr Crutchmeyer (sp) ask my Dad and me if we would like to take a ride in his Beechcraft Bonanza. About 1975??? Dr Crutchmeyer explained that they build Georgetown County airport for Churchill to meet with Roosevelt in 1944?? There were 3 runways built in a triangle, so to let the plane land and take off into the wind. Beautiful little airport. The Low Country is so pretty.
