ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (NEWSPLEX) -- The Charlottesville Albemarle Airport is getting ready for an airport exercise and needs volunteers to help.

This year's exercise will take place September 23rd.

Volunteers are needed between 7:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.

According to a release, they will be outside most of the time. Volunteers will have makeup applied and are encouraged to wear clothing that can be stained or altered to depict injuries.
