Old 41 is over on the Kennesaw side, by McCollum airport. They had an approach accident over there too, much more recently.

The military plane went down on Austell Road, about 2 blocks from this trailer park. West side of Dobbins, just off the end of runway 11. I was 9 at the time, remember hearing about the Fair Oaks crash. Dad was an aviation lawyer.

Old 41 was the vernacular for Atlanta Rd. (adjacent to the old interurban right of way) through Smyrna, Fair Oaks and Marietta west of Dobbins. US 41 was known as ‘the Four Lane’ and ran east of Dobbins, missing Smyrna and catching the east edge of Marietta at the Big Chicken.

I visited the area a few years ago. Belmont Hills (’the largest shopping center in the South’) was gone; Cobb Center was gone, the huge Lockheed wind tunnel was gone, the Country Club was a hotel. Only the Big Chicken was left.
