Warner Robins grew up around Robins Air Force Base, about 100 miles south of Atlanta, and its biggest draw is a free museum with dozens of aircraft. It is also a handy base for middle Georgia: Macon is 20 minutes north, Perry and the Georgia National Fairgrounds are just south, and peach country is a short drive west.
