Bro do you even lift
Ok, @Ryanb has been wanting to do this for a while, @eman1200 has been wanting to do this for a while, so here it is.

-KDKX in Knoxville TN

-We'll most likely have to uber it to Calhoun's on the River (3.5 miles away)

-Since we got mother's day and memorial day in May, let's set the fly in date to Saturday June 2nd.

Here's the list of peeps that have expressed interest in the past (or who have actually made fly ins) but as usual I'm sure I missed someone:

see, two posts and already two new names added to the list. well, not 'new', just added to the list. u know, the slacker maintaining the list......nevermind.
 
Damn. I’m out. Thanks a work weekend for me. Unless one of you wants to charter a Pilatus to Knoxville. :)
 
I'm a solid maybe. By then weather shouldn't deter me as much I hope ;)
 
I overlooked something in the OP. To confirm, there is no restaurant on the field?

no, it is not on the field. it's 3.5 miles away, over looking the river. uber IS available in that area.
 
A couple of quick photo's for reference. 3.4 miles from Airport to Calhoun's. As we have discussed, the transportation to and from the restaurant may be the biggest challenge, but we'll make it work.

Used to be a booby bar south of there years ago. That's what my buddy told me.
 
I might need to juggle my schedule a bit but if the weather cooperates, I should be a yes.
 
So you’re saying that you’re coming?

Dunno. The next weekend I will be flying to Kentucky again, and the weekend previous I will most likely be flying elsewhere so it will depend on how much I want to spend that billing cycle.
 
Did 1.2 of checkride prep yesterday. If no mx or wx problems I should definitely be finished with my PPL by then. Planning on being there!
 
Calhoun's is a great choice. And if you've never flown into DKX, it's a great little island airport, with an approach right over the city.
 
Anyone flying from the lower part of Georgia? I could drive a couple hours and meet at a airport & share flight costs with someone but renting the local flight school's plane is too expensive for this soon to be college student's wallet atm.

Cool! Looking forward to it. Might hit up GKT again, while I’m up that way.

Wow you South Easterners are impressive. The South West guys don't ever meet up.

That's okay though...I consider myself to be a one man wolf pack.
 
I've been looking for an excuse to land in Tennessee. Hope I can.
