Arrival procedures for Green Castle Airport's First Annual Antique, Vintage & Experimental Fly-In/Drive-In to be held on June 5, 2021 have been published on a kneeboard card format and are now available for download/printing. We hope to see you there!

If you're going to be flying in the Memphis, TN (KMEM) area on the weekend of 23 April, drop by the airport at Olive Branch, MS (KOLV); Given that people will want to be out and about now that restrictions on gatherings are beginning to loosen, you'll probably be welcome even if you don't own or fly a Cherokee Six. KOLV is located about 10nm east of KMEM on the 102 radial of the MEM VOR (117.5 MHz).

He replied, That’s because I learned to fly in a Taildragger See more
