President Barack Obama will be sharing Air Force One with three congressional Republicans Friday for his visit to the Volunteer State.

Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker and U.S. Rep. John Duncan, who represents the Knoxville area, will fly with the president from Washington D.C.

U.S. Reps. Scott DesJarlais and Chuck Fleischmann will not attend because of a vote on the House floor that day, according to their spokespersons.
