Southern Airways Flight 242

[+Rodneysbbq]

I won’t attempt to tell the story of what happened on April 4^th 1977 here in New Hope. If you’re interested you can google Southern Airways Flight 242 on the internet and you will be provided with a number of sites that tell the story of the worst aviation disaster in Georgia history.

 

With further development of New Hope I want to make sure we don’t forget what happened and that newcomers can learn what happened here in our community. Sunday March 30^th we will be holding an appreciation dinner. In honor of first responders I will feed all EMTs and Firefighters, active, retired, local or from another county. I want to say thanks for all that was done then and all that you do now!

 

The meal will begin at 11:00 and will be a Fish Fry! We will serve Fried Catfish, Fries, Slaw, Hushpuppies and a drink. We have several speakers lined up to talk about the tragic event of 1977. Everyone is welcome to come and learn some history first hand. Tickets for the meal are $8.

 

See ya at Rodney's!

I understand Frederick Clements a survivor of the crash will be there with Cluff David's who has been posting essays about flight 242.
