After part 1 (http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=117618) and part 2 (http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=117643). We left Roanoke for Knoxville, Music City and Memphis. In the meantime I came across the following aircraft:
Mountain Empire Airport - 2nd of August
N738AX Cessna 182 Private1. Nice Cessna 182 with a nice backdrop, unfortunately I couldn't identify the plane in the back.
Elizabethon - 2nd of August
N2206A Piper PA-28 Cherokee 181 Archer II Private N2662F Cessna 182 Private N4117T Cessna 320 Private N4205F Cessna 172 Private N577DW Hughes 369HS Private N6054T Cessna 150 Private N6344E Cessna 172 Private N734EQ Cessna 172 Private N849Q Beech Queen Air Private N9779V Cessna 172 Private N335MA SOCATA TBM Aircraft LLC2. I still don't get it, it's a Hughes 369 but Hughes 500 is written on it.
3. The biggest plane at Elizabethon
4. My first Queen Air, quite happy with this one.
Johnson City Hospital - 2nd of Augus
N408UT Bell 407 Private5. Next airport was Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge airport:
which isn't in Gatlinburg nor Pigeon Forge but in Sevierville. I didn't visit the museum but I heard they have some nice aircraft.
Since this airport lays on a Hill it's quite hard to take decent pictures at the FBO from outside the fences. So I walked in and asked if I could take some pictures airside. It was fine on the condition that I blurred out the registrations. So this log is incomplete.
Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge - 4rd of August
N150DK Cessna 150 Private N1992D Cessna 182 Private N2302A Robinson R22 Beta Private N312DC Waco GXE Private N5997W Piper PA-28-140 CherokeePrivate N6792E Cessna 175 Private N7143Y Robinson R22 Beta II Private N8364Z Robinson R44 Raven Private N16760 Bell 206L Private N408UT Bell 407 Private6. Nice FBO-terminal for a small airfield.
7. Seen from the FBO but landside
8. Nice King Air at the FBO
9. Seen at the other side of the airport, a nice Robinson R44
10. Well, I saw it at Johnson City's Hospital but it wasn't possible to take a proper picture, I was sort of glad to see it here again.
Moving on to the bigger cities now. Nashville, aka Music City was next. We visited BNA's FBO's. First thing I saw was a F-15. Can't imagine to see a RNLAF at the Rotterdam JetCenter. I also saw many of the Tennessee ANG's Blackhawks, I still have some doubts about a few serials so if anyone could help me with filling out the blanks, I'd highly appriciate it.
Nashville Intl. - 5th of August

11. It started off very well at BNA
12. One of the many small airplanes around at Nashville.
13. Nice Phenom of Averitt Air Inc.
14. Not that often seen at Dutch airfields, well except of UR-SBS.
15. The Tennessee ANG!
16. A crappy shot of a Blackhawk at the Tennessee ANG
17. Close to the ANG at the other side of the airport there's an area of stored E145's
18. Nashville is famous of its music and therefore nicknamed Music City. One of the museums over there is Johnny Cash's. He served the USAF from 1950-1954 as a Staff Sergeant of the 12th Radio Squadron Mobile. He was the first radio operator to pick up the news of the death of Joseph Stalin.
After a visited to one of the most famous country music stars we went to the King of Rock 'n' Roll. But in the meantime we stopped at Lebanon, TN and Jackson, TN.
Lebanon Municipal - 5th of August

Jackson, TN - 5th of August
N175MC Embraer Phenom 300 MASCO Corp N195MC Embraer Phenom 300 MASCO Corp N425PD Bell OH-58A Jackson Police Department N3265A Cessna 172 Private N371CP Cessna 182 Private N4604J Piper PA28RCherokee Arrow Private N6105V Cessna 172 Private19. An unkown Kiowa or something like that, anyone's got more details? Its N-number ends with TE I think. Its ex-US Army serial is something like 0-213*2 or 0-23*2
20. Both of MASCO's Phenoms were present.
21.
22. Nice helo of the local PD
We arrived at Memphis. I didn't visit FedEx-Field, or Memphis Intl. These two planes were Elvis Presley's planes. And yes, they are still there!
23. Lisa Marie is Elvis' daugther's name
24. Gotta love those engines.
25. Fuel truck I suppose
26. My most favorite private jet, the Lockheed JetStar
Hope you like this part. Any suggestions, comments or missing serial are highly appriciated.
