Ben Epps - Part 2

Ben T. Epps

Ben Epps was Georgia's First Aviator. In 1907, at the age of 19 he built and flew his first airplane.  Check out my post on April 1, 2012 to see the full statue.  

The airport in Athens is named in his honor.

Ben Epps is buried in Oconee Hills Cemetery in Athens, GA

I feel very lucky to have caught the Wings of Freedom tour at the Ben Epps Airport.  Today is the last day they will be here.
