Just a friendly reminder:
THIRD ANNUAL NAUGA FIELD FLY-AROUND
The dates for this year’s event will be December 4th, 5th, and 6th (first weekend in December). Come pass a good time.
Let me know if you are planning on attending. Need to know how much groceries to plan for. Also, if you are interested in the infamous "Nauga t-shirt", need a shirt size. Will need to place that order in advance. Sorry, must be present to score a T-shirt.
Folks planning on attending so far:
John H
Gary H
Jimmy Y
Mike and Jan M (maybe)
Frank G (maybe)
The cooler weather will help the cook’s mood and the planes will fly better. Camping and sitting around a fire at night will be possible too.
I don’t know when you snowbirds start your migration south, but it will be great if you want to pass this way.
Nauga Field (LS35) is located ~ 15 nm north of Baton Rouge, LA in the wonderful community of Starhill, LA.

Nauga Field is a short grass strip with obstacles (trees) at both ends. Kolbs can handle this fine, but not much else. If you are not proficient at short field landings over obstacles, then Nauga Field will be very intimidating. The runway is 1550 ft tree line to tree line. Thresholds are displaced 450 ft from both ends (state requirement). You can use what you can get down to. Two person operation is not recommended, especially with fuel and gear. If you plan on flying in and are not used to short grass strips, please practice or don't fly in for your safety and ours.
If you have questions, e-mail direct or you can call. I'm a shift worker, so you may have to leave a message and I'll get back to you during normal human hours. 225.505.4353

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