...I have been looking at a ridge on google earth that I've heard many
glider pilots in east tennessee use. *It starts in Jasper, TN and goes
northeast for about 100 kilometers.


Is Art Mathews's airport still operational for gliders? I flew a diamond
goal out of there years ago but Art was having financial problems keeping
the airport going at the time. What was the outcome and is Art still around?


Mathews field is closed and they will prosecute you for trespassing if
you land there. We operate out of Marion County airport near Jasper
for Sequatchie (Walden) ridge operations.

Someone ran out of Southern hospitality, I guess.

Maybe it's the wx. Sorry about that.
