Pete Michaels Traffic

pm

Pete Michaels is Knoxville’s only traffic reporting pilot, flying his own 200 mile per hour turbo aircraft “AirWatch.” He flies higher and faster…using his own aircraft to cover traffic, road and construction problems. Along with ground spotters and cellular communications, he gathers information on all main and secondary rush hour routes. He has direct radio communications with all East Tennessee law enforcement agencies under the police call signs “Air Watch” and “SkyWatch.”
