Title: Since it is an away game on Saturday, and it's at night,... Post by: TheRealOrange on October 20, 2011, 02:38:34 EDT ...if any Knoxville area residents are interested, the 2011 Open House and Fly-In at the Downtown Island Airport will be held on Saturday, Oct. 22, 2011 from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Here is some information: * It will be the largest community open house event the airport has ever hosted. * There will be tethered hot air balloons and airplane rides. * The cost ranges from $5 for children to $15 for adults and proceeds will benefit the EAA Young Eagles program, teaching children ages 8-17 about flying. * Vintage aircraft will be on display, with biplanes from the 1930s, experimental aircrafts and home-built aircrafts. * Craig Davis, general manager of the Downtown Island Airport, will also host an aircraft contest, with judging and awards as an incentive for more pilots to fly in and bring their planes to the event.

Post by: MIAUTIGER on October 20, 2011, 06:34:16 EDT Thanks for the info, TRO. I may take my two oldest girls up there. Trying to get them into flying so once I get do get my pilot's license, it'll be something that they are already into.
