I'm not to far from you guys, down in Benton, TN. The only problems are I am still a student pilot, and hae only just bought my tool kit :=)
Would you guys mind if I showed up by car instead of RV?
If the 172 and my CFI are available, I might be able to bring the old 172 up, and use it as cross country training time.

Did you just mention cheap fuel and Morristown in the same post, or was that a typo?
I would like to come but sadly have to work.

It is true...
For some strange reason the FBO owner takes pity on the EAA chapter's Flyin and gives a huge break on fuel. He says it is at his cost.
The rest of the year not so much  but we definitely don't complain about this special day of the year!

FL to TN
My dad and I are thinking of flying my -4 up tomorrow morning from Punta Gorda, FL to Jacksboro, Tennessee and then attending the fly in on Saturday. Is anyone else from Florida or Georgia heading up tomorrow or at all?

Hi Jesse. Weather permitting, my wife and I are heading to Augusta, GA tomorrow with thoughts of KMOR fly-in Saturday. Probably launching around 0900 from Venice. Looking forward to meeting Brian. I have corresponded with him but never pressed the flesh.... What there is left of him
Can't wait to meet you Brian.

Hi Gary,
I saw you land but by the time I made it over to your plane you and your wife had disappeared into the crowd. I missed meeting Brantel too but did get to meet a lot of other friendly folks. I'll see you back in FL sometime soon. We are leaving JAU in the morning as soon as the clouds lift up out of the valleys. Have safe flight home!

Thanks to all the RV's that showed up today. I think there were at least 10-12 RV's and one F1 Rocket.
Got to meet Gary in person and that was cool.
Sorry I missed the others as I was busy parking airplanes and keeping the pedestrians from killing themselves!
We had a great crowd and tons of airplanes. Flyovers by some P47's and we had a top notch P-51 "Ain't Misbehavin" show up and spend the day with us including some flyby's.
We had some Knoxville News coverage this year again:

It is tough to pull off an open to the public fly-in with such a small chapter. We only have about 8-10 folks!
