The Collegedale, Tennessee is a small, but, an active little airport located on the corner of Apison Pike and Bess Moore Road in Collegedale, right on the Apison border. It caters to the Southern University, McKee Foods (Little Debbie); the Seventh Day dventist Church and local enthusiasts.
For a small are this is a very active airport. You may have read about tragic crsh after tkeoff about 12/3 years ago when four people were killed including the regional head of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. You will see mostly small single engine planes but there are few antiques and a few twin engines also.
The airport boasts a nice little cafe the Sky View Cafe which features burgers and sandwichs as well as country home cooking features t dinner time.
It was a beautiful but chilly day. Temperature around 59 with a slight breeze.
Twink went with me and she seemed to enjoy herself. She is such a good dog. We rode with the sunroof open.
There are lots for sale, roughly 1 acres, which are "hanger lots". Each owner has access to the runway and the right to construct a hanger. These lots average about $70,000.
Once a year the airport hosts a Fly-In and the whole community is invited for demonstrations and tours.
If you re in the area, drop by the Sky View Cafe and have a bite. Even better, if you are a flying enthusiast, fly in and pay us a visit. If you are looking to relocate to the area why not fly in and let me meet you at the airport and we'll look around at real estate. Hope that I see you soon!
