How Big Is Smyrna Airport
If you’re new to Smyrna Airport, you might be wondering how it accommodates such a large-scale event. As the third-largest airport in Tennessee—behind only Nashville International and Memphis Airport—Smyrna boasts a rich history, having once served as Sewart Air Force Base from 1941 to 1971. Today, it is a fully equipped facility capable of handling large commercial jets and hosting major aviation events.
Road and Trail Closures
To ensure smooth operations, the Smyrna Police Department will oversee traffic control, with several local roads and parks closing during the weekend. Notably, Lee Victory Park will remain closed throughout Saturday and Sunday until the airshow concludes.
