Leg 12: John C. Tune (Nashville TN) to Knoxville-Downtown (Knoxville TN)
I caught a glimpse of Music City on my way out, but this darn weather that’s been persisting over the last couple of legs closed in again - 147 nm 00:57:00 enroute.
Good launch out of John C. Tune, and a nice view of downtown Nashville including the Nissan (Adelphia) Stadium across the river from the Arts District:
Routing around Nashville International (KBNA) - plenty of cargo jet traffic today:
Requested higher from ATC to just get over this storm bank:
Not much to see unfortunately, just clouds upon clouds horizon-to-horizon - and eventually we head back into the muck on descent:
A quick glimpse of sunlight somewhere over near Jefferson City during the approach, and we get a quick break ourselves before it closes it again:
Coincidentally, Knoxville-Downtown is also located at a bend, this time of the Tennessee River - east of the city - just don’t get low and short because the water is right there:
