Cindy and I took a day trip to the beach Saturday.
We had a great time.
We left Ruston, LA (KRSN) at 9:00AM and arrived Dauphin Island, AL (4R9) at 10:50AM.
I caught Cindy really studying the sectional chart. She knows when I ask her our location she had better know It's great to have her helping
It was pretty hazy. Can you see the runway?
Here's a pretty good shot showing the proximity of the airport to the south beach.
You don't want to land short here. I look low in this shot don't I ?
Mobile approach was talking to a Bonanza also headed to Dauphin Island and called out the traffic. We couldn't see him 5 miles away due to the haze and he couldn't see us either. We spotted him later after we had switched to the advisory frequency and asked his position. He landed first and we followed
him in. Here he and his wife are in the shot below. Turns out he has an RV-4 and is building a 6. He said his 4 has a bad starter or he would have flown it.
I don't want to post his name here without permission. He lives on an airpark not far from Picayune, MS.
Look what we parked next to. Nice! Very tall too!
