  • The weather in Florida has improved and I hop on an airliner to fly back down to rescue 1BC and bring her back home. I depart from Lakeland, Florida (LAL) on an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight to Knoxville, Tennessee (TYS) to stay the night with my parents and break up the long flight home. On the way to Tennessee I fly over Athens, Georgia where I learned to fly and then get some pretty views of the Smokey Mountains.

Had plenty of buddy pilot's who offered me a free, fun rides, mostly cross countries. Flew in all kinds of single engine planes. Did become an ATCS gave it ten years, then Ron didn't like me. It was an awesome job to have!!! Keep up the video's!!

Interesting thing is that before we were married, 30 years ago, she would fly with me all the time. lol. I get to hanger by plane at TYS and love to park under the overhead. TacAir is awesome also.

Theres a good school right near home so I'm going to complete that and hope to move on to something more interesting. I completed my private pilot training in my early 20s but never did much with it after that, haven't flown anything in 20 years probably.... Now at age 44 I have to re-learn all that stuff!

    Hi Kevin,
    It definitely sounds like you made the right decisions leaving the plane. That's something if it took paint off that guys plane.
    In my opinion, if you having to deal with that much stress flying in to an airshow should make Jamie and you be better controllers in the long run knowing what can happen. I would think the FAA would look into the event. It sounded like they were really overwelmed. Sorry she had such a bad experience. I'd try to find the positive; you both were together and the event must of been fun.
    Take care,
    Be safe.

I've been going to The Varsity since 1972 and would occasionally speak with founder Frank Gordy. He seemed to be always present, overseeing the operations. The Varsity Downtown reopened for indoor dining last month and I stopped in for my regular order of two Chili Cheese Slaw Dogs, two Rings and a large FO with a Peach Fried Pie. No trip to Atlanta is complete without a stop at The Varsity.
