Nauga Field keeps out the riff raff, and those that can not Kolbs.
Some of us had a ball last year at the first annual Nauga Field
flyin at Star Hill, LA.

Doesn't look any worse than the little strip we fly out of.

Possum:
Nauga Field is twice as long as Gantt International Airport, 750 feet, 410
feet ASL. Been flying out of it for 24 years. Was a whopping 600 feet,
unimproved, for the first couple years flying the Ultrastar and Firestar.
I guess our little airstrips are intimidating when one is accustomed to
flying airborne taxi cabs off hard strips.
Reminds me of Crazy Ed out of Brooklyn, NY. He landed on a derelict barge
in NY Harbor. Or Possum landing on a sand bar next to a wrecked tug boat.

I loved the videos Possums, watched all of the ones on your site. Your glide looked a little better than what I get, the MK III comes down quicker. I guess the extra weight and wide cockpit of the MK III take their toll on the glide.
