Nests $500,000 egg from movie production

In this file photo from March, 2021, a simulated aircraft carrier anchors the sprawling Statesboro set of the filming of the Korean War-era movie “Devotion" at the Statesboro-Bulloch County Airport. The film, which is being shot at area venues, including the airport, will feature the true-life story of two friends and wingmen in the same fighter squadron during the Korean War. The local filming is expected to be onging through April. - photo by EDDIE LEDBETTER/staff
