Huntingdon, Tenn.–It’s now called the Sgt. Lee Russell Carroll County Airport and the new signs have now been installed. The Airport is officially named in honor of the late Tennessee Highway Patrol pilot who lost his life in a helicopter crash while on duty in the summer of 2022. Sgt. Russell lived in McKenzie and was a former Henry County sheriff’s deputy and flew many missions for local and area law enforcement agencies as a THP pilot. Russell was the son of retired THP Lt. Steve Russell of McKenzie, who also was a deputy for the Henry County Sheriff’s Office before working for the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Photo by Rich Dominas/Carroll County Airport.
