Smith Reynolds Airport, located in North Carolina's Fifth District, is set to be designated as North Carolina's first legacy airport. Originally named Miller Municipal Field in 1927, the airport was soon renamed in 1942 after the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation made a donation to the airport. Madam Speaker, since its inception, the airport has served as an Army Corps facility and was the birthplace for Piedmont Airlines, the legacy carrier that merged with US Airways. Madam Speaker, with this designation on the horizon, I am confident that the airport will continue to be a vital component of the community and that North Carolina's aviation sector will continue to grow and contribute to our State's vibrant economy. ____________________
