vacation in tennessee
« on: November 04, 2009, 06:56:04 PM »
So we are going on vacation to TN again this year around Xmas time.  Last year we visited the Warbirds Museum near Pigeon Forge but I want to know if anyone knows of any other aircraft related museums in TN that we can go to.  We will be staying just outside of Pigeon Forge in Wears Valley.  This time we have several days that are not booked full of stuff to do, so anybody that has any idea of what to do in that area, please chime in.  Thanks

National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.  Why go to the mountains of Tennessee at all unless it's for the nice banjo music you can hear while boating?  And before anyone gives me crap I live in a state that is purported that everyone wears bib overalls, doesn't wear shoes, knows how to play a banjo or a fiddle, and eats possum and raccoon.

Thanks Black Sheep




National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Been there and I'm sure we will go again next year during the Dayton gathering.

You forgot the squealing of pigs, music to my ears, ahhhhhhhhhhh

Shows how much I go to Nashville.  Only been through it a few times on the way to East TN.  I tend to stay West of Jackson :)

Dolly Parton grew up in Pidgeon Forge. Otherwise, it's just hillbilly morons.

Monumental FAIL

Jim Beam is Bourbon whiskey and is made in Kentucky. Jack Daniel's and George Dickel are Tennessee whiskey and are made in God's Own Tennessee.

Please turn in your Tennessee citizenship card at the nearest courtesy counter.
