Interesting.. that's Brunswick Golden Isles Airport https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunswick_Golden_Isles_Airport

Prior to 1975, the airport was Naval Air Station Glynco (IATA: NEA, ICAO: KNEA). In August 1942, the U.S. Navy began building the air station on 2,400 acres (970 ha) in the northern part of the county. Named NAS Glynco as an abbreviation of Glynn County, it was launched as an operational base for lighter-than-air airships, more commonly known as blimps.

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), a large agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security, is headquartered in Glynco, north of the city.[76] A study conducted by Georgia Tech identified FLETC as the largest employer in Glynn County;[77] it was further determined that FLETC's annual localized economic impact is in excess of $600 million... Jet aircraft manufacturer Gulfstream Aerospace has a presence at the city's airport.

Brunswick and the Golden Isles are a year-round resort community.[82] The islands' beaches, resorts, shops, and historic sites annually attract visitors from around the world.[82] President George W. Bush hosted the G8 summit in 2004 on Sea Island
