Yep, you read that right. They built the runway over two graves and put flush headstones/markers in.

It seems ironic to be forever grounded in an airport.

CUMMING, Ga. -
From the cockpit of a small plane above Mathis Airport in Cumming, it's easy to miss the 10 slabs of marble embedded in the runway.

Once they were gone, LC Anglin missed them dearly.

"They were my people, they were my relatives that's buried there," Anglin told Channel 2 investigative reporter Jodie Fleischer.

Anglin's ancestors died decades before the first airplane was flown. After the original airstrip was built along the edge of the family's cemetery, the descendants agreed to lay the headstones flat to keep plane's wings from damaging them.
