I had heard that Lee County Airport was being closed ? Also that any pilot
taking off in their plane had to take it somewhere else? Can you give me
the real scoop on what is going on there? Any "sport planes" to rent over
your way?

You can go up the french broad river avl to newport tn, greenvlle then to
lex. I am based out of Lee Co. Va. 0vg and have flown this route several
times. If it's windy..forget it, you do not want to be in there.. i
always think back to something Evelyn "mamma bird" Johnson in morristown
KMOR told a friend of mine. "Never fly over the Smokies, they are too
easy to fly around." Not that I have always heeded that advice, but you
can shoot to kmnn? mcminn co. and through cumberland gap if you need to.
When i do fly that area "avl to Greenville" I take a survival blanket,
water, and my bear pistol. There is a stretch if you had to put the plane
down it could be awhile before anyone got to you. Remember wind is
weather- especially when trying to fly a mtn. pass w low ceilings...
