> After breakfast, I read the headline in the local paper and it said that the State of Tennessee had named the local airport as the Number 1 airport in the state.  This provided another opportunity for the Mayor and the Airport Board to get their photos in the paper, but, non-the-less, the folks have been working hard to provide service to all visitors, and not just the fancy jets that arrive for Bonaroo.

> As I began to hear the skydivers overhead, I decided I needed to get out and get some exercise, walking on concrete.  As I got to the airport, the Twin Otter was getting a refill after a busy morning.

> As I waited for the next load of jumpers to load up, I spoke with the young high school student who had done the refueling.  The city hires and trains several part-time workers to help cover weekends and larger fly-ins.
