.   .   .   .   And, just in case you're interested, the French Broad River which flows alongside the airport from headwaters above Brevard, is the third oldest river in the world after the Nile and the New River (which flows from the North Carolina - Virginia border northwest through West Virginia). The French Broad travels over 100 miles northward through the state to connect with the Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi Rivers before delivering its waters to the Gulf of Mexico. Incidently, the Eastern Continental Divide runs through this region, separating the Gulf and Atlantic watersheads.
