Corps looking into Middle Georgia Regional Airport

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.
