Middle Georgia Regional Airport is being investigated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps is looking for leftover munitions or pollution from the time the airport was a WWII flight training school. So far, an initial inspection at a former pistol range at the site has revealed no concerns. However, officials say some petroleum compounds in the soil of a skeet range need further investigation. Cochran Field was used from 1941 through 1948 as a basic flight training school. It eventually became the current Middle Georgia Regional Airport--9 miles south of Macon.
