July 11, 12, 13 MS71 Slobovia Outernational Airport (Updated 6/15/03)
We are hosting a fly in on Saturday July 12th. You are all invited!!
4800 X 80 ft turf. 33/15 250 ft elevation. Frequency: 122.75.
The event will be held in 'Lower Slobovia', the
south end of Slobovia Outernational Airport. As usual at private,
non-commercial fields, pilots operate at their own risk.
(RSVP to Charlie at: cengland@netdoor.com <mailto:cengland@netdoor.com>)
Camping on the field is fine. We also have a lot of floor space for
anyone who is willing to
trade a little privacy for air conditioning. We will have BBQ pork,
burgers, & hot dogs for lunch on Saturday. For those who arrive Friday
and/or stay 'til Sunday, we will poll the attendees for preferences:
Pizza, Catfish, etc are all close to us. We will probably do
coffee/juice & pastries for breakfast.
Slobovia is about 10 miles NNW of Jackson MS on Highway 49 N. Jackson
is pretty much in the center of the state, about 180 miles
>from the coast, about 190 miles south of Memphis TN, and about 90 miles
west of Meridian MS..
We are ~10miles north of HKS, or ~6 miles west of the JAN vor on the
258 radial. HKS (Hawkins Field) & the JAN vor should be in all the
aviation databases - on the Memphis Sectional .If any of you are thinking
about driving, please contact me for directions because the online mapping
services don't get it right for the critical last leg to our driveway.
Seminars on Saturday will be dismantling Herb Sander's donated 12A
engine, and a demo of the new engine/air data computer from Real World
Solutions.
We are really looking forward to seeing ya'll next weekend.
Charlie, what about lat long for gps?
