I'm not sure this qualifies as a Trip Report since it only takes a little over a half hour total time to fly to and from Moontown (3M5) from Decatur Pryor Field (DCU) in an RV. Every third Saturday, the EAA chapter in Huntsville which meets at Moontown Airport, hosts a fly in breakfast. Moontown has to be one of the very few airports with that old time feel. The 2200 foot smooth grass runway regularly provides takeoff and landing opportunities for all varieties of aircraft including ultralights, gliders, certified singles and twins, kitbuilts, scratchbuilts, true production experimental prototypes, Yaks, Antonovs, WWII warbirds, amphibious floatplanes, biplanes, taildraggers, nosedraggers, etc.
On Saturday, Dan Cunningham and I flew over in his RV-9A and I took my camera along. I made a lot of photos, but these are representative of the huge variety of aircraft at Moontown. If you ever get a chance, drop in on Moontown, especially on any third Saturday morning. If the weather is VFR, you will not be disappointed. It's a regular flying destination for members of the TVRVBG (Tennessee Valley RV Builders Group), and several photos depict TVRVBG members enjoying their Saturday morning at Moontown.

Since I tend to be verbose with the captions, you may want to set your slide show setting to more than 4 seconds per frame.
Also, there are two videos and some neat still photos available on the Moontown web site at

It's my favorite grass airport and a favorite destination of a lot of RV pilots in North Alabama and Middle Tennessee.
