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.
