The Smyrna Airport is the third largest in Tennessee. Only Nashville and Memphis International Airports are larger. It also has the distinction of being the busiest general aviation in the state. Prior to March, 1971, it was known as Sewart Air Force Base and has capabilities to handle virtually any size of aircraft. One of the two major runways is 8,048-feet and the other is 5,546-feet. The huge complex is on 1,700 acres of land.
