Henry Tift Myers Airport (IATA: TMA, ICAO: KTMA, FAA LID: TMA) is a public airport located 2 miles southeast of Tifton, Georgia. The airport serves the general aviation community, with no scheduled commercial airline service. History
The airport was constructed in 1940. In April, while under construction, the United States Army Air Corps indicated a need for the airfield as a training airfield. The immediate construction involved runways and airplane hangars, with three concrete runways, several taxiways and a large parking apron and a control tower. Several large hangars were also constructed. Buildings were ultimately utilitarian and quickly assembled. Most base buildings, not meant for long-term use, were constructed of temporary or semi-permanent materials. Although some hangars had steel frames and the occasional brick or tile brick building could be seen, most support buildings sat on concrete foundations but were of frame construction clad in little more than plywood and tarpaper.
Tifton Army Airfield (also known as Turner AAF Auxiliary Field No. 9) was activated on 12 August 1940. It was used by the Army Air Forces Flying Training Command, Southeast Training Center (later Eastern Flying Training Command) for advanced two-engine flying training throughout World War II, until inactivated on 28 December 1944. Aircraft flown at Tifton AAF were generally Curtiss AT-9s, and later TB-25 Mitchells.
Tifton AAF was placed on inactive status though the balance of the war, being turned over to the Army Corps of Engineers on 21 September 1946. Title was returned to civil authorities in 1947. The airport was renamed Henry Tift Myers Airport in honor of Tifton native Colonel Henry T. "Hank" Myers, who was the first pilot of Air Force One.
