Whitewater Aviation Corporation

The perfect landing for your "one-stop" mountain adventure!

Hans van Ovost is the owner-operator of Whitewater Aviation at Martin Campbell  Field, 1A3, located in beautiful Polk County, Tennessee.  The airfield is centrally located in the Blue Ridge Mountains for your "get-away" adventures!      This is an awesome airport    location, especially for those quick weekend vacations for hiking, biking and whitewater rafting!

Hans has plans for expanding the current ramp, adding a  self-service 100LL & Jet-A fuel farm, new  T-hangars along with aircraft, avionics, maintenance and transient facilities.
We are restoring the current 80' x 100' hangar and offices. (Go to our pictures page to see our progress.)

About the owner:
Hans van Ovost has over 30 years fixed base operation experience.  He started at Fort Pierce, Florida municipal airport when it was just another non-towered airport without facilities.  Through Hans' efforts, it has become St. Lucie County International Airport (FPR) with paint, upholstery, avionics, and maintenance shops.  It is now a major business and transportation hub which has brought new businesses to the local area and increased the revenue of the county.

About the area: A two hour drive north of Atlanta lies the Tennessee Overhill Country.
This mystical, mysterious place is older than the Cherokee Nation and dappled with the magic of music, mountains and moonshine.

Distinctively different, the moon shines over some of the United States best white water rivers, crystalline lakes, deeply wooded forests and some of the warmest, most colorful Americans still breathing.

So, what's your pleasure? Whitewater rafting? Kayaking?  Camping?  Hiking?  Fishing? Hunting?  Nature-watching?
