James Tucker Airport (FAA LID: M15) (also known as James Tucker Perry County Airport) is a county-owned, public-use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) southwest of the central business district of Linden, a town in Perry County, Tennessee, United States. The airport is located on the Atlanta and Memphis sectional charts. Opened in October, 1962, the airport was originally known as Perry County Airport prior to being renamed in honor of a local citizen in 2016.[1] Efforts to bring an airport to Perry County date back to 1946. A group of students from a local high school petitioned the county to construct a public airport after having been introduced to aviation through the donation of a Link Trainer to the school.[2]
