For those that are not originally from the Huntsville area or did not grow up here, Airport Road is located east and west of Memorial Parkway and connects to Whitesburg Drive. This is the site of Huntsville's second airport and the first with paved runways. Now the area is known for the Becky Pierce Golf Course and within the Airport Road area there are many businesses and municipal buildings. I can remember in 1966 going to the airport with my mom and dad and seeing my brother off on his way to Vietnam. Life was simpler back then. We walked to the steps of the plane with him and stood just off of the loading area and watched the plane taxi to the runway and then take off towards downtown Huntsville as it gained its speed and lifted off. So why Airport Road? Because the airport used to be there.
