On Tuesday night, May 17th, Brandon Hughett taught a course on Mountain Flying at the Knoxville Flight Training Center located on Downtown Island Airport. Brandon is the president of the Knoxville Flight Training Center and considered to be an expert on mountain flying in the Appalachians, The class was sponsored by the Knoxville Flyers as part of our quarterly Hangar Flying series. This was a very real cost-saving opportunity for our club members to receive excellent ground (and flying) instruction by an extremely qualified mountain flying instructor.

On Friday, May 6th, Club Member Bill Stone earned his Private Pilot's license. Bill always dreamed of flying airplanes and in 1982 he began working on his pilots license in a Cessna 150 at a small grass strip in South Carolina. Work demands forced him to suspend his training about two-thirds of the way through. Then all the demands of life - job, marriage, raising a family - kept his dream on hold.
Knoxville Flyers, Inc. is a non-profit social organization chartered to allow members and their families to enjoy fun, fellowship, flying and learning to fly as a club member.
Knoxville Flyers has been East Tennessee's premier flying club for over three decades. The Knoxville Flyers was founded in 1968, and it owns three IFR-equipped aircraft based at Knoxville Downtown Island Airport (DKX). Located on an island in the Tennessee river in downtown Knoxville, DKX offers a beautiful and challenging full service airport for the club. All three of the aircraft are parked under cover in the plane ports right next to the main terminal.
We are neither a flight school nor a time building organization for non-members, but we welcome new members (space permitting, of course) whether they are student pilots or have many years of experience.
