Talk:Peach State Aerodrome

Ongoing Overhaul
I have essentially exhausted all Internet references to the aerodrome's history. I still need to find information on ownership by a Tommy Johnson as referenced at http://www.peachstateaero.com/history/, but this is not currently top priority for me. I am currently in the process of gathering photographs, and will try to get an aerial shot from the traffic pattern next time I go flying.

Regarding the mentioning of the Barnstormer's Grill, which was disputed and removed in earlier versions: working at the airport, and having spoken with other pilots, I have yet to hear one mentioned without the other. The Grill is the primary attraction at Peach State, and leaving it out is rendering the article incomplete. However, I can see why someone who has not been to Peach State might see this as a conflict of interest.

Also, the alternate names "Peach State Aerodrome" and "Candler Field" must be included. These were removed at one point; however, I have only heard it called "Peach State Airport" twice. Everyone I know calls it "Candler Field" or just "Candler". Distant pilots are more likely to know it as Peach State Airport, as that is the name on aeronautical navigation charts. "Peach State Aerodrome" is the more or less preferred official name: this name's use for the web address is a good example. Based on the above, I would say these names are very important to the average reader.

As the Candler Field Museum is completely reshaping the airfield, I have created its own subsection under "History". As the information and references become available, I plan to add information on the following: Barnstormer's Workshop, aircraft restoration facility based on airport; EAA Chapter 468, presently based at airport; Civil Air Patrol SER-GA 014, recently moved to airport, and establishment date of Barnstormer's Grill.

This is all a work in progress, so bear with me. IdRatherBeFlying (talk) 01:09, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
