Morning Gang:



Time to load up and take off for Nauga Field, LA.



Weather looks like I should make it ok if I get on out of here early.



322 sm, 4.5 hours, and 21.5 gals.  Could make it without refueling, but I 

will top off at Laurel, MS, and have plenty fuel to make it into Nauga 

field, should I have to deviate because of weather.  I plan for 75 mph 

ground speed without factoring in the wind.  Usually, plans out pretty close 

to actual flight time.



Even though it is a weekend flight, it takes almost as much gear as a month 

long flight.  I could cut my load down a lot, but should I get caught by 

weather or mechanical problem, sure is nice to have a tent, air mattress, 

sleeping bag, pillow, and a little chow to stave off the hunger monster. 

There are some very isolated, little used airports between Gantt IAP and 

Nauga Field.



Take care,



john h

I sat at the airport for about 2-1/2 hours this morning.  Fog, ceiling 200' 

and misting rain.  I am back at the house now to look at weather further 

along my route.  I need to be able to get under way by noon to make it.

Steven,



Your luck with the weather is definitely not good.  Sounds like last 

years experience trying to get to Homer's.  At least this year you were 

able make it, but the weather shortened our time there.



Maybe you have to pay more homage to the weather God's!!!  Good luck on 

your trip to Nauga Field, wish I could join you!

Nauga Folks,



I wish I could leave today, but must work to pay for my hobby. I'm  

leaving as early as possible Saturday AM, 250 miles + or - a couple,  

est. 5-6 hrs. Looks like I'll just head for False River and meet ya'll  

for lunch. I should have a little tailwind Saturday, with a headwind  

Sunday heading back home. This is my first fly-in, looking forward to  

it!

Weather is upsetting everything in the UK too.



Fairford, one of the largest Airshows of the year is set for this weekend. 

The Queen was there to review the RAF yesterday (It is 90 years since the 

Royal Air Force was formed. The first flying arm in the world independent of 

the army. Up until then it had been the Royal Flying Corps and essentially 

an Army organisation)

The Queen reviewed the troops and planes , including  the Battle of Britain 

Flight of a Spit, and Hurri and a Lanc.and just as she drove off the heavens 

opened up. The squaddies were marching off and the splashes from the rain 

rebounding from the tarmac was bouncing almost knee height

Today they have announced that todays airshow is cancelled. Presumably 

because the main public areas, which are of course grass, are waterlogged. 

An announcement about the cancelleation of tomorrows performance will be 

made tonight.

The money this has cost is phenomenal. There are Flying Display teams here 

from all over Europe, fighter, bombers, refuelling planes, the Raptor, the 

Eurofighter. Plus all the ground equipment and men required to keep this lot 

in the air. Must be millions of pounds wasted.

On a smaller scale we have a fly in at my strip this weekend. Weather now at 

mid day is pretty gusty, scattered heavy storms forecast. Supposed to be 

improving later but I think there will be very few camping overnight. That 

means the BBQ is down the pan. A few of us will go to a local pub and hope 

that tomorrow, which is supposed to show improvement is up to standard but 

we had over an inch of rain yesterday so everything will be pretty mucky. 

Fingers crossed.



Cheers



Pat

Hi Tony,



the weather actually did improve a bit Saturday. 3 people camped in the 

hangar overnight and around 20 had a meal at the pub.

Today has been great with 40 planes turning up from all over the south of 

England.



You never can tell.



Hope yours went as well

Pat
