Vender Update:
We are going LOCAL this year and inviting organizations, churches, schools, fund raisers and anyone else that wants to set something up. **JOHNSON COUNTY VENDORS** call me at 423-727-1223 for more details.
You all have been responsible for a lot of grins, laughter and conversation within the local community when they are discussing “Those Contraptions” that you all fly around with! Anytime someone is aware that I’m associated with the Airport they always have something interesting to boast. (most want to try it)
For those that have been here before, I look so forward to seeing you all again for another awesome week. For those that haven’t been here before, we boast breathtaking mountainous views, friendly locals, interesting side amenities such as Doe Mountain Recreation Area for some of road trail riding, Watauga Lake and Runway side Roan Creek for water activities, welcoming local shops and fantastic restaurants. Search the numerous YouTube videos from previous event to get the feel of what Mountain flying is all about. This General Aviation airport has proven to be perfect for PPG/PPC due to the light traffic, morning ground fog situations and single traffic pattern. Potable water, Mens and Woman’s hot showers, waste water dump on-site, hangar storage space for equipment and shelter during inclement weather.
To ensure everyone gets the needed nightly rest to fly the next day the generator use will be limited to all those camping on the asphalt area be turned off by 11:00 PM. Generators will be allowed to run all night in the “East 40” camping area. The option of staying at any of our accommodations or campgrounds… here’s a helpful link www.johnsoncountytn.gov/places-to-stay.
100LL aviation fuel is available in the office, or seek out Airport representative.
An FAA NOTAM will be implemented for safety concerns that will alert general aviation aircraft of your presence in the area, but please note that the Airport will remain open or any and all public landing and taking off traffic.
