Ground and aerial activities including fireworks are planned when the 40th annual Beechcraft Convention gets underway in Tullahoma Wednesday through Sunday, Oct. 16-20.
Dozens of aircraft from antique to modern will be flying in from all parts of the country. At least 250 persons have registered for the event, which will be headquartered at the Beechcraft Heritage Museum south of the Tullahoma Regional Airport.
Charles Parish, convention co-chairman, reviewed the planned activities for members of the Tullahoma Airport Authority at their meeting Tuesday night.
One of the special attractions will be pilot Julie Clark who will be giving aerobatic precision performances in her T-34 Mentor, Parish said.
A fireworks show also is planned this year, and although the program is presented for the convention members, the public can view the show from the grounds around the terminal.
“The show will be presented by a professional pyrotechnical individual,” Parish told the board.
He also noted the fact that pilots would be able to purchase fuel under $5 a gallon this year. Airport manager Jon Glass said fuel prices at the Tullahoma airport are among the lowest in the area.
In another item considered by the authority, Kiwanis Club member Mike Rutherford asked if the club could have permission to hold its annual fireworks show on Friday, July 4th, 2014. Members of the authority voted their permission unanimously
Rutherford said the club did not make money off this year’s show but did better than some held in the past.
