There might not be many traditional 'Revolutionary War' stories directly associated with an airport as airports are a modern concept. However, perhaps in an area near an old battlefield that is now an airport, there could be tales of heroism passed down. For example, if a local area was a site of a significant Revolutionary War battle, and now it has an airport, some local legends might include how the early settlers or soldiers showed great courage in that very place.
One 'airport war story' could be about a long delay. I once had a flight that was delayed for over 10 hours at the airport. People were getting restless, arguing with the airline staff. Some were trying to find alternative flights, but most just had to wait around. There were kids crying and tired passengers everywhere.
Another possibility is that there are local legends or historical tales in the area around an airport that have some tenuous link to the Revolutionary War. These might be shared on Twitter as unique stories. For instance, if an airport was built on land that was once a battlefield or a strategic location during the Revolutionary War, stories about that connection could surface on Twitter.
One interesting story could be about a group of Confederate soldiers who, while hiding in a forest during the Civil War, encounter a horde of zombies. They have to put aside their differences with the Union soldiers they meet there to fight off the undead. The zombies could be the result of some strange experiment gone wrong in a nearby military camp.
They add a human element. We can picture the soldiers better through these stories, not just as historical figures but as individuals who might still be lingering in some form.
The rifled musket was a very important weapon in the civil war. It had much greater accuracy than the smoothbore muskets used before. This led to a change in battle tactics. Soldiers had to start taking cover more often, rather than just standing in lines and firing. For example, at the Battle of Gettysburg, the rifled muskets' accuracy made frontal assaults extremely costly.
There were also some strange superstitions among the soldiers. Some believed that carrying a certain charm or having a particular item on them would protect them in battle. For instance, a common one was a lock of hair from a loved one. This added a rather curious aspect to the psychological state of the soldiers during the Civil War.
There could be a story about an airport being built on land that was once a strategic location during the Revolutionary War. Maybe it was a place where troops were stationed or a supply route passed through. The discovery of old maps or diaries during construction could have led to the preservation of some historical aspects on the airport grounds.
The Civil War settings add to the horror as they often involve large areas of desolation. Ruined battlefields, burned - out buildings, and makeshift cemeteries are common. Zombies rising from these places seem more menacing. For example, a zombie emerging from a mass grave on a battlefield is a terrifying sight.
