With help from many, aviation playground flies
When this year’s 60th NBAA show wraps up in Atlanta, unlike previous years, not everything will be packed and taken away.

When this year’s 60th NBAA show wraps up in Atlanta, unlike previous years, not everything will be packed and taken away. To celebrate the anniversary milestone, NBAA has partnered with Home Depot, one of its Atlanta-based constituents, and built a playground for local kids.

Fain Elementary School, located less than two miles from Fulton County Airport/Brown Field, found itself the beneficiary of the new aviation-themed playground and an outdoor classroom, built on Sunday by a small army of volunteers from NBAA and the local community. The idea hatched during convention planning as NBAA’s local committee members discussed ways to mark the anniversary. According to Bill McBride, Home Depot’s director of flight operations, the playground was a natural way to bridge the gap between the airport community and their neighbors.
