I do my best to try to fly more than:
1) Type on the computer.
2) Cut grass.
So here are some plain ol South Louisiana flying pics. We have been "blessed" by some unusually cool August weather here this past week. High has only gotten to 92!!!!
Cleared things up. So, here are a few Kolb flying pics. Nothing special, just better than some recent posts. Sorry, that is an opinion, not a proven fact.
Pics are of Mississippi River at St. Francisville, LA. Includes the ferry that has been used here forever for traffic crossing. There is a picture of a new span bridge that will eventually replace the ferry. Also a picture of Nauga Field. Some will notice the changes on the SE end (foreground).
Hope the climate improves on the list too. I monitor another flying list that is going through similar issues. Have not met a Kolb driver that I didn't like, face to face.
Have more fun!

I know many pilots and a few true aviators. There is a distinct difference that I have the greatest respect for.

John B:
Understand there are still wires on the south end, but have Tana Balls
installed? How about the north end?

Thanks. Nauga Field is 1550 feet tree line to tree line. When I approach from the SE end, I can be turned around before the windsock about 700 feet. And that is with no braking!!! Have witnessed one person land with wheels locked, just to win a short landing contest!
John H is correct. Power lines both ends. Got them marked with Orange balls. Ronnie M had the south end logged and we cut a gap out on the SE end. Left the power line exposed. Put the orange balls on so no one would get "surprised". Didn't need them before. Power lines were at or below the tree lines.
We are accepting donations to get the power line buried on the SE end. 
Another pic. If you put on your best reading glasses and squint you can barely make out the orange balls on the power lines.
Just a reminder. Third annual Nauga Field Fly-Around is scheduled for December 4th, 5th, and 6th (first weekend in December). As you can see from the picture, you have to be short field proficient. Not a problem for experienced Kolb drivers. Two person operation not recommended.
Be safe!

Thanks John B. I really enjoyed the pictures. I flew last Sunday over the Laura S. Walker Lake but forgot my camera. It was fun seeing the boats racing around.
