The restricted airspace south of the airport is cold. Polk Approach (Army) let us go right through. On the approach to the airport we got to see a fake air field with a fake jet (there are other equipment too).

That is Claiborne bombing range in R3801. I've dropped a lot of BDU-33s there.

Great trip report! I especially liked the well prepared plane/pilot made the trip a non-event!

Ted,
Great write-up, I live in Louisiana and we go a ton of rain this weekend. I was glad to be on the ground. Your lucky that your kids want to fly, mine are ambivalent to flying. My son says if I die, the RV 7A goes on E-Bay the next day. Kids know where to place the knife.
