I'll be flying a VFR-only plane from Charlotte to Lexington next
weekend, and I'm in the process of planning the best route to cross the
mountains. The sectionals should arrive in a couple of days, but in the
mean time I'm looking at the route, and the elevations appear lower in
the route from Asheville up to Greeneville. Also, it looks like this is
entirely over a major highway vs. being in the middle of nowhere.

KEXX is a great field with friendly folks. No need to go all the way out
by Asheville to get there from Charlotte unless you're sightseeing or want
to get some mountain experience. Asheville will be very pretty for the
next week or two, by the way.

Since you're VFR, just follow I-85 out to Lexington. You'll see the
airport where US 52 and I-85 diverge. Can't miss it.


Unless he's talking about Lexington, TN (M52)... half way between Nashville and
Memphis along I-40.
