Mercer Airfield (GA65) built and opened in 1974 by Ervin Mercer for his own private airplane use, he went on to open the World Aircraft Museum which had up to 20 retired warbirds at it height including a Mace Missile that stood atop a pole. The runway originally was 3485' x 140'ft but today no longer exists, it ran all the way up to Union Grove Road (see Google map image) and the new I-75 exit ramp would have cut that number roughly in half if it was still there. Over the years the aircraft fell into disrepair as did Mr. Mercer's health and he began to sell them off, some went to other locations for display, others which were on loan returned to the U.S. Military, and sadly some were scraped. Mr. Mercer's death in 2010 plus the land being sold to the state to construct the new off ramp was the final blow to Mercer Airfield. See the links for images of the field and pictures of the aircraft that were on display.
This airport scenery uses the shortened field as it would be if it still existed making it perfect for STOL aircraft. There is no lighting on the runway, only a few lights on the hangar and the driveway. Parking spot is on the pad in front of the hangar and that's about it, just bare bones. The airfield is only about a mile east from KCZL Tom B. David in Calhoun but listed in Adairsville.

If you are missing anything or something just looks odd I may have used some objects from other asset collections. Sorry about that, chances are though, if you frequently download other airports and scenery you probably already have those libraries installed.
Open the zip file and drag the folder into your "Community" folder. No files are altered or overwritten so you simply just delete the folder if you wish to go back to the original generated scenery.
Thank you please rate and comment.
Hello, I'm having issues updating this file and can't recommend it in it's current state so until its fixed I'm disabling it for now. Sorry, if you are using the file it's up to you if you want to delete it or not. Also doing this for several other of my airports in the area. Thank you.
