Moultrie Airport was built before World War II; during the war it was used as an auxiliary training field for Spence Army Airfield a few miles to the northeast. Known as Spence AAF Auxiliary No. 3 It hosted the 455th School Squadron (Special) beginning on August 1, 1941 while still a civil airport. The airfield was released from military use  on December 15, 1945 and returned to civil use. Southern Airways DC-3s began flights to Moultrie in 1949, but probably at Spence initially; by 1955 they were at Sunset Field, as it was then known. Southern's DC-3s were replaced by Martin 404s, then by Metros, then by Republic CV580s that pulled out in 1981. Moultrie dropped out of the OAG in 1988 when Eastern ended code-share prop flights from Atlanta. Facilities. The airport covers 369 acres (149 ha) at an elevation of 294 feet (90 m).
