>>Any significant landmarks near the town?<<

Nashville is only 20 miles from Smyrna, there's the airport at Nashville, the Grand Old Opry too.

Not to mention Oak Ridge National Lab, and the TVA in the vicinity.

Thanks for looking that up. This is a very weird story

Oak Ridge is actually a "suburb" almost due west of Knoxville. Although, when you are talking about distance by air from where this happened this morning, it is not terribly far -- 165 miles away. But I think there are other facilities closer. This whole area (middle and southeast TN) has several TVA dams, with Percy Priest dam being only 10 to 12 miles from where this guy crashed his plane.

Thank you!

Oak Ridge is what was trying to come to make it's way to the tip of the tongue...
