Southern Airways Flight 242


Recommended Posts

I won’t attempt to tell the story of what happened on April 4th 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 30th 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.
