Tennessee Aircraft Reached Austin as Manufacturing Symposium Opened

Tennessee's university-owned N865UT flew from Knoxville to Austin on August 2, the opening day of the Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposium. The conference lists University of Tennessee professor Chad Duty on its advisory committee, giving the Austin stop a likely university-event explanation. The aircraft then continued through Georgetown, South Carolina, before returning to Knoxville; no sourced purpose has been found for that later stop.
