PDK is also the home of AutoPILOT Magazine, an advertorial publication covering all things aviation-related.

History
The area currently used by PDK was a Army training camp during World War I for the 82nd Division. In 1940 the land was converted into a Naval Air Station with operations beginning in March 1941, a few months before the United States entered into World War II. The NAS later moved to Marietta and was called Dobbins Air Reserve Base. NAS was eventually closed by base realignment and closure (BRAC). PDK was converted from military to civilian use from 1957 to 1959. Commercial shuttle service began in 2017. Ultimate Air Shuttle began operating commercial flights between PDK and Lunken Field in Cincinnati. Service was expanded to connect PDK with Charlotte Douglas International Airport in 2019. However, service was suspended in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
