...in Lenoir City, TN.
Once the fog and mist lifted this morning, it was such a gorgeous day I grabbed my gorgeous wife and headed to the airport for a fun flight to our property in TN in our Sky Arrow, just under 50nm miles from our home base in N GA. For no particular reason, but we did make a picnic of it.
Just a fun day burning mogas in the sky.
Ready to take off at Big T:
And Karen filmed the takeoff with her iPhone from the back seat:
Not quite as hairy as it seems, but still "interesting" for a boy who spent the vast majority of his flying in Florida!
Flight to and takeoff from Big T airport...

Nominally 1,700'.
Actually closer to 2,000' if you include the upslope at the NE end.
An aid taking off to the SW, and comforting if one is a tad fast or long landing the other way.
