Brandontwalker Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 The Shelby County Aviation Association is planning a trip to Gatlinburg the last weekend of this month to support tourism. There are a couple of Mooneys scheduled to make the trip (including mine). We would love to have more. http://www.wvtm13.com/article/local-pilots-plan-fly-out-to-promote-gatlinburg-tourism/8597257?src=app Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eman1200 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 interesting. I got confused when she said it'll take a couple of hours to get from shelby county to gatlinburg, but when I looked it up, it's shelby county alerbama, not shelby county north carolina.

That estimate is at 172 speeds. It's right at an hour and a half in a Mooney Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronDC8402 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 The Nashville IMC club is planning a fly-in to KGKT Sat Jan 28 as well to see the museum that's on the field. I'm likely not going to make it. Might make for a busy Saturday at the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browncbr1 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Beware the bumpy runway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 At least there's lots of parking. The museum ramp alone will hold almost 20 planes. At the MS flyin there a few years ago, I was into the wind going down and had to use "overflow parking" uphill at the FBO. May have to go back again . . .

kris_adams Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 How cool. Great news story...a lot better than the "no flight plan was filed" doom and gloom that normally makes it to TV...If I'm out of annual and ready to go I will try to be there.

Brandontwalker Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Our first wave of planes should be arriving at around 10:00 AM EST. Our group is staying at the Quality Inn and they are providing everyone staying there with ground transportation to town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may tag along for a day trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
