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.
