People trade toys for flights during the annual Fly for Tots: Thomaston-Upson County Airport (KOPN), Thomaston, Georgia

Families turned out in flocks for the annual Fly for Tots last Saturday, hosted by the Thomaston-Upson Airport and the pilots that base their planes there. In exchange for a cash donation or a toy, which go to the Upson County Empty Stocking Fund, people had a chance to take a short flight around Upson County. A crowd waits outside the terminal for their flights.
