"The Big Chicken" looks right at Lockheed Martin and Dobbins ARB on the horizon only one mile away. We soon could be an economic ghost town. It doesn't take an aerospace scientist to see handwriting written on the wall.
In January 1993, storm winds damaged the structure, and rather than tear it down KFC was forced by public outcry to re-erect the building. Among those who complained about the Big Chicken being torn down were pilots, who actually used the building as a reference point when approaching Atlanta and Dobbins Air Reserve Base.

When people are being given directions and they don’t know about the big chicken, everyone knows you’re not from around there. It happened to me.
