Anybody know if/when the Tennessee Museum of Aviation will be holding its warbird weekends this year? If I understand correctly, they have had one in the spring and another fall event in the past.

I'm trying to figure out if there's anything I can go to this year besides the shows at Shaw AFB and Winston-Salem.

They haven't posted anything yet on their homepage or Facebook, which is kind of how they do things. April and September are the months that they usually do the fly-ins. With the T-bolts hitting TOM this year, maybe they'll have a few more local flying events.

Last year on the weekend of Memorial Day, they had a very nice small event:

T-28 Trojan, Beech 18, and A-1H Skyraider "Lieutenant America" performed unscheduled flight demonstrations.

Bob Ford flew his AT-6 Texan "Paradise" in for the afternoon and put on an impressive show as he departed.

P-47 Thunderbolt "Hun Hunter XVI" and P-47 Thunderbolt "Wicked Wabbit" Flight Demonstration -- both P-47's flew at 2:00pm


I hope for another such event this year -- I always "need" an excuse to hang out around Sevierville for a couple days :lol:

Going by what they did last year, the spring event will likely be on Memorial Day Weekend and the fall event the third weekend in Sep. The events are a single day (Saturday) now. Their website updates can be slow in coming. Normally, announcements are 4-6 weeks ahead for museum events.

Thanks for the information guys. Hopefully I'll be able to make the May event.
