Creedmoor, NC, November 20, 2014 – Things you might not know about Savannah, Georgia:

First, it is America’s first planned city. The beautiful downtown area, designed by founder James Edward Oglethorpe, comprises one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States.

Second, Savannah was the host city for the sailing competitions during the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.

Third, Chippewa Square in the city is famous for being the anchoring scene in the movie “Forrest Gump.” It’s where Forrest sat on a bench waiting for the bus, meanwhile reviewing his life and making his “Life is like a box of chocolates...” observation.

And, last but certainly not least, Savannah is the site for the next Twin Commander University, a biennial owner/operator conference dedicated to owner and pilot education. The dates for the 2015 University are Thursday-Saturday April 23-25, and the place is the Hilton Savannah Desoto hotel in the heart of the Savannah historic district.

The University centers around two days of in-depth seminars ranging from instrument takeoff and approach procedures to operating techniques to get the most out of the Honeywell TPE331 engines that power all turboprop Twin Commander models.

The University also features product and service exhibits staffed by Twin Commander authorized service centers and channel partner companies including SimCom, the exclusive provider of simulator-based Twin Commander pilot initial and recurrent training.

The University also will showcase the new Garmin 950-equipped Twin Commander, a completely refurbished Commander retrofitted with a Garmin 1000 panel and STEC 2100 Digital Flight Control System.

Like all higher education, the University is not all about the classes. The weekend begins with a Welcome Reception at the Desoto, and on Friday evening everyone will gather for a cruise down the Savannah River to historic Ft. Jackson, where guests will disembark for a traditional lowcountry boil –– a delicious one-pot meal of shrimp, sausage, corn-on-the-cob, and potatoes.
