Any RV types in the Mobile area? I am here in Mobile getting some work done at Atlantic Marine Shipyard. Going to take Saturday off (9-27) and plan on driving out to Mobile Downtown Airport to see what kind of hanger flying is happening.:p

Mobile on a Saturday? Here's what I'd do:

- Hangar flying in Fairhope Al. (east side of the bay)
- Tour the Battleship Alabama on the causeway across the bay (lots of military aircraft on display)
- Eat at Felixes right down the road.

Mobile Downtown is a pretty industrial type location, though there is a good FBO there. Most of the little airplanes are in Fairhope or Foley....

U would probably do better at Roy E. Ray or St. Elmo airport. Never see much fun stuff at BFM

Thanks for the Info
 
Hey, thanks for the great information. Maybe I will see one of you at Roy E. Ray or Fairhope or St. Elmo. I will be the the new face that does not look like he knows where he is going.:)

Ah, St. Elmo,

I flew single channel RC out of St. Elmo in the late 50's. Anybody remember Bonner Varicomps or Esquires?

Sorry,
Above post way off topic. Got carried away, I guess.
