Where it all started

Carolina Warbird Experience started many years ago as a childhood dream. Growing up with a love of aviation and WW2 history, It has always been a dream to fly a piece of American aviation history.  To share it with aviation and WW2 history lovers alike. I began flying at a very early age and grew up in the mountains of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. My passion for flying and my love for the Smokey Mountains have allowed me to share my passions with you. I welcome you to join me as we step back in time and fly an American aviation legend, while also taking in the unmatched beauty the Smokey Mountains. I look forward to flying with you.

"I can't say enough about the outstanding service I received from Carolina Warbird Experience. Tom went above and beyond to meet my needs, exceeded my expectations and calmed my fears. Seeing the Smokey Mountains from the SNJ was beyond anything I could have imagined"

"Tom made my life long dream of flying in a WW2 SNJ-5 come true. To be able to fly in the same aircraft my grandfather trained in before going on the fly the B-17 Bomber. I know I made my grandfather proud."
