The airport was frequently used as a filming location for the TV series "In the Heat of the Night"
The show's producers even went so far as to have an appropriately "aged" sign at the administration building proclaiming "Sparta Municipal Airport - The Gateway to Progressive and Historic Sparta."

Notable scenes included a drug shootout, the arrival of a controversial civil rights figure and the intentional suicidal crash of a corporate jet being flown by a man who had just been called out by Chief Gillespie as a murderer.
