Miller Municipal Airport was renamed and dedicated to Smith Reynolds
In 1940, Charles Norfleet, the president of the Airport Commission,
contacted Eastern Airlines, requesting them to begin servicing Miller
Airport. When Eastern Airlines agreed to add Miller Airport to its
North-South route, Dick Reynolds and his sisters, trustees of the
Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, donated funds from the Foundation
to further modernize and expand the airport. In 1942, Miller Municipal
Airport was renamed and dedicated to Smith
Reynolds, a pioneer in aviation before his untimely death at
the age of 20.
