Can someone give me some details on this one? Is it a general fly-in?
Rotary? Type (like RV)? When does it start, end? Facilities available?
Etc.
Inquiring minds need to know .... Jim S.
You asked for it, you got it. Details below. We've got 4800' of grass & have had a Velocity in here, as well as King Airs, MU2's etc. If you are flying a canard with really small wheels & aren't willing to risk it, there's a hard surface airport about 10 miles south of here. Someone can come pick you up.
BTW, do you know any Englands up there around Crossville? My dad grew up around Sparta & Bon Air.

The Invitation:
You are all cordially invited to the next flyin lunch/supper/all-weekend-long hangar party at Slobovia Outernational Airport, 10 miles north of Jackson MS on October 17-19, 2003. If flying fun isn't enough reason to party, it's wedding anniversary time for two families here, so come & help us celebrate.
Overnighters are welcome any time after noon on Friday, and are welcome to stay through Sunday. Bring your bed roll and if desired, a tent. We have lots of indoor floor space & even more outdoor tent space, so come on down!
We had a great turnout in July with about 45 planes, including around 20 RV's. We are hoping for at least twice that number in October.
The noon meal on Saturday will again be 'pulled pork', thanks to the wonderful wives here in our strange corner of the universe. If you can stay for the hangar party Saturday night, we plan on having pizza & 'beverages' with a live band for entertainment. Bring your dancin' shoes.
You can get info about our airport at airnav.com

Update: runway length is now 4800 feet.
Disclaimer: Slobovia is a private airport. Pilots operate at their own risk.
Warning: Please, no high speed 'low approaches' during high traffic times. We do expect some low & slow stuff and ultralites (& local FAA personel), so fly safe.
