Local Voices Local airports, both a field of dreams and an economic driver It was where I went when I wanted to be alone; it was where I went when I was frustrated or mad at my parents; it was where I went when I wanted a place to think and dream; it was a place where I saw my future. I occasionally visited during the day, but an airport is magical at night. In small town America, a local airport gets really, really quiet at night. It also gets particularly dark in areas where the lights from Lynn Spruill the runways and taxiways don’t penetrate. The nooks and crannies of the parking lots and ramps can be good places to watch the stars and just be. Though I took most of my flying lessons out at Camp’s grass strip further out of town between Starkville and the “Crossroads,” I still felt the strongest pull from the blue lights of the taxiways and the rotating beacon flashing green and white every night at Starkville’s municipal Campaign 2016 airport. There is something about an airport that promises adventure and the unknown. It portends of new people and Trump isn’t politically incorrect. experiences. Its lyrics are for those who hear the siren song of the sky. As someone who heeded the call, it made all the difference for me. He’s just simply incorrect.
