Statesboro–Bulloch County Airport (IATA: TBR, ICAO: KTBR, FAA LID: TBR) is a public airport located three miles (5 km) northeast of the central business district of Statesboro, a city in Bulloch County, Georgia, United States.
During the first of 1936, government leaders leased a 93-acre tract three miles north of town, adjacent to and east of Highway 301.
Initially known as the Bulloch County Airport, the facility celebrated the first landing of a locally owned aircraft on November 21, 1936.
On July 17, 1941, Statesboro received news that the Civil Aeronautics Administration had chosen its airport for improvement as a defense landing field.
The government allocated $350,000 to construct two 150 × 4,000-ft. hard-surfaced runways, taxiways, a fence, and airfield lighting on the condition that the City and County procured a total of 604 acres.
Soon after construction began, the United States Army Air Forces (AAF) became involved and enlarged the project.
The AAF purchased 50 acres on the west side of Highway 301 and built a cantonment area for 180 officers and 400 men.
After two months of training, the 23rd moved back to Morris and the 118th to Aiken Army Air Field, South Carolina.
Several thousand people attended an air show, held on Sunday, December 5, for the purpose of Women's Army Corps recruiting.
On December 31, 1944, Warner Robins Air Technical Service took command of Statesboro placing it on temporary inactive status.
In April 1946, after an inspection by the CAA, the Federal Government gave the City and the County permission to operate the airfield as a municipal airport.
