Flying & Conservation

Pilots get a bird's eye view of our environment. This is a great opportunity to do a visual inspection from above. Pay attention to pollution, dumping sites and green destruction. Pilots can then report to the authorities or send us a quick note for investigations. Besides Reducing, Re-using and Recycling, Pilots can help with Tennessee Conservation by encouraging others, reporting litter and flying a glider.
