Tennessee Locator

[mrhenniger]

I have taken the Tennessee section of the Locator as far as I can, so I turn it over to you...

http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/Locator.php ... TheResults

You will find the “Need Help List” below. It is simply a list of locations for which I need assistance to make the data more complete. The “Need Help List” is a subset of the complete listing which is available via the link above and that subset includes the locations with the big red + signs. If you notice you have any info to contribute when viewing the complete list just click the red or blue + and you will be taken to a form where many of the fields will already be filled out but you can also provide corrections and/or new information. You can also post your contributions here if you would like.

I am looking forward to any assistance you may be able to provide.

Thanks in advance.

Mike



Note: Remember you can right click any of the maps to obtain coordinates of the location clicked. Often the “Need Help List” is asking for more accurate coordinates, so if you can provide those just zoom in and right click on the location to get the coordinates.

Your AH-1 and F-104 and F-86D are right on the money!!!!! I will get you some pics.

The AH1 and F-104 are visible but the F-86D is on base. If your on the road where the VFW AH-1, you can look down into the base and see the F86D. Somewhere someone has pics. I have seen them on here.

There is also a T-33 at a Highschool. Its also been on here before.

[retroaviation]

The CAF (formally Peeler Aviation) hangar at the DeWitt Spain Airport in Memphis (M01) is the largest hangar on the field. It is just north of the main flight school hangar.

That's my ol' stomping grounds. You should go by and visit sometime. There are some really great folks there.

Just to clarify you are talking about these...

http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/LocationDos ... 670#TheMap

The marker placement for the F-86 at Lookout Mountain was just an educated guess. Should I bet buying some lottery tickets? Were you also referring to #3651 and #3670?

There is also a T-33 at a Highschool. Its also been on here before.

You must be talking about this one...

http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/LocationDos ... erial=3657

...it didn’t appear in the list here as these are the ones I need help with, and I know the location of the Crossville school T-33. Thanks anyway though.

The CAF (formally Peeler Aviation) hangar at the DeWitt Spain Airport in Memphis (M01) is the largest hangar on the field. It is just north of the main flight school hangar.

Got it. I think you are describing the northern most hangar bordering the main ramp.

That's my ol' stomping grounds. You should go by and visit sometime. There are some really great folks there.

You guys must be starting to think I am an American with all these Locator postings. It was a long haul for me to get to Legends in Ohio from Ottawa. Tennessee is waaaayyyy off the edge of my map. I will certainly keep it in mind if I get to that corner of the world.

Thanks for all of the good info. I won’t be doing an upload tonight, but perhaps tomorrow or Saturday.

Mike,

There is a T-33 in Gray, TN (near Johnson City) at a radio control strip.
Don't know the #. I'll try to find out. Best photo I could find:

bipe215, my brother recently moved to Johnson City from Palm Springs CA and took over the Hobbytown Store there. Mention my name and it WILL NOT get you a discount . You can talk to him about Bob Pond and the Palm Springs Air museum. He did some work for the Pond family off and on.

[Bill Kistler]

At Millington you have the location of the A5 correct. The A4 was the folding wing display and it was there in Jan 98 on a flatbed.

Bill.

Heck, if I can drive from Texas, to our northern provinces in Canada (says he, and then runs for cover) you could drive from beautiful Ottawa to Tennessee.. "It'ain't that far!"

Here's the Google Earth coordinates for the Louisville AH-1. It is just behind the airbase at McGhee-Tyson.

Mike,

In the Arnold AFB (Manchester/Tullahoma) entry you are missing a couple of aircraft. At the southern base entrance across the entrance driveway from the F-4 there is a an F-16 near the main road, and an F-18 just a little past that on the same side of the street. They don't show up in the satellite image in your locator, as they are fairly new dispays. The F-105, F-14, and F-15 are located at the three spots you have indicated a little further northeast.









Thanks for all of your hard work on the locator. I am using it to plan my roadtrip to South Dakota here in the near future.

#3666 - Knoxville - A map reference is needed. Where exactly is the Tennessee Museum of Flight located?
http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/LocationDos ... 666#TheMap

http://www.taxexemptworld.com/organization.asp?tn=587563

The address given is about 3 miles from my front door. Apparently, it is a "museum" in name only run out of someone's house, as this location is a residential area.

I stumbled on some info regarding the 101st Airborne Restaurant in Nashville. It closed in 2006 and an update last month says the C-47 "Tooie" (TC-47B N2312G (16468/33216) on site will be shipped to Indiana. http://www.ruudleeuw.com/deepsouth.htm

Yep, I have that one…

An A-4 with folding wings??? Thanks. I am updating the comments.

The rocket propelled snowball launchers are ready for you. We have plenty of ammunition this year! I may be able to convince Catherine to go on a road trip that far, but she is not big on driving long distances. She might go for it if I pitch swinging by Branson, MO as well.

Here's the Google Earth coordinates for the Louisville AH-1. It is just behind the airbase at McGhee-Tyson.
35°48'41.77"N 84° 0'29.35"W

Yep. I have that one, just note correctly noted under the correct city.
http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/LocationDos ... erial=3643
The entry will be fixed in the next upload, likely tonight.

In the Arnold AFB (Manchester/Tullahoma) entry you are missing a couple of aircraft. At the southern base entrance across the entrance driveway from the F-4 there is a an F-16 near the main road

How is this for an estimate?... 35 21 49.12 N 86 03 17.78 W

…and an F-18 just a little past that on the same side of the street.

And this? 35 21 47.31 N 86 03 21.41 W

The F-105, F-14, and F-15 are located at the three spots you have indicated a little further northeast.

I have upgraded the accuracy indicator.

Thanks for all of the good info?

Thanks for all of your hard work on the locator. I am using it to plan my roadtrip to South Dakota here in the near future.

I am planning on adding a trip planning feature where you can add sites to a travel plan like adding items to a shopping cart in an on-line store. It would use the route planning services of Google maps. You would also be able to add extra way points to alter a route. Change to the order of stops. Have it calculate for the times of various legs, and provide estimates of time spent on-site. Essential you would be able to plan a day’s drive relatively easily and save the plan for later editing. You would perhaps even then be able to share this plan with others, etc.

Do you have any ideas of features which could be added?

It may be a new museum just forming, or something like that. I think I will leave it listed for now. Someone may come along with more info.

I will like do an upload tonight. The changes will appear then.

Alcoa,
McGhee Tyson Airport,
McGhee Tyson ANG McGhee-Tyson AFB Museum 2: F-104, F-86 Sabre
These sites may not be accessible to the public.

Knoxville,
Louisville,
McGhee-Tyson Airport,
Tennessee ANG - 134th ARG 2: F-104, F-86

Just a note, these two entries are one in the same. McGhee Tyson is the Knoxville airport but it is located in Alcoa (~approx. 12 miles south of Knoxville). The ANG base where the F-104, F-86, and AH-1 are is across the field (behind the gates not open to the public).
