Stoney Point Vintage Airfield
Stoney Point Vintage Airfield, nestled between Georgia 400 and Stoney Point Road, is a small private airport that feels like a step back in time. Our 2,500-foot grass runway is home to a collection of lovingly maintained vintage and antique aircraft, each cared for by its pilot owner with pride and preservation in mind. Together, the airfield and surrounding properties make up approximately 75 acres of rolling meadows and wooded areas, creating a peaceful home not only for aircraft, but also for deer, rabbits, geese, owls, and other wildlife that share the land with us.
The airfield is owned collectively by a small group of pilot families who base their homes and aircraft here, and it serves as a gentle transition between the more industrial areas to the west and the quieter, lower-density neighborhoods to the east. We often hear from Forsyth County residents who are surprised to discover that an active runway sits just beyond the treeline. On sunny days, you may spot a Stearman biplane or Piper Cub happily lifting off the grass, much to the delight of neighbors and passersby who enjoy the nostalgic rumble of vintage engines overhead.
Our pilots are deeply committed to being good neighbors and giving back. Over the years, Stoney Point pilots have volunteered countless hours to introduce local youth to aviation through “first flight” experiences with Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and other youth organizations. After Hurricanes Katrina and Helene, members of our pilot community flew essential supplies to affected areas and brought displaced families back to Atlanta so they could reconnect with loved ones. We consider it a privilege to use our aircraft for good whenever possible.
Stoney Point has also played an important role in aviation safety. On several occasions, aircraft experiencing mechanical issues have landed here safely when other options were limited. One memorable event involved a U.S. Marine Corps Super Cobra helicopter, which made an emergency landing on our runway and departed the next day after repairs—followed by a thoughtful letter of thanks from the Corps.
For many who visit, Stoney Point Vintage Airfield is a reminder of a gentler era in aviation—when graceful, fabric-covered airplanes cruised the skies from quiet grass runways. And for the children who pause at our gate to watch a plane take off, it’s a reminder that dreams can still take flight, sometimes right in their own backyard.
We are grateful to be part of the Forsyth County community and look forward to continuing to share the joy, history, and heart of aviation with our neighbors for years to come.
