Luray Caverns Fly-In (KLUA) January 25

That is a fun fly-in. The caverns use to own the airport or FBO (still might). Parked on the ramp and was met by a van and dropped off at the caverns. Great service and beautiful destination. I miss those hills!

Wish I could join the fun, but can't get the mouse out of the hanger without hitting the wings on snow banks.

You need to get back out to Virginia this year . We have a lot on the hopper. Be careful with that weather up there.
 
I'll try to make it also. Luray is fun to fly into. 4500 msl over the hill and 980 I think on the field. The power dive down the slope is fun but the circling approach is safer!

I have talked to my CFII about coming down. As long as the weather holds out, I/we am planning on making it down. Hope this goes as planned any advise for flying in. I have never been to this particular airport. Does it have an instrument approach, I will be training while flying to and fro.
 
Erick,
KLUA has an NDB-A VOR/DME-B and a couple RNAV(GPS) approaches. Luray is a quaint little town.

John, I'll plan to go; I should be home from work.

Watch the VFR traffic patterns too. For some reason I have never understood they expect your downwind on the side near the mountain, not over the flat valley.
 
Hey Paul, there is a tower on the other side in the proximity .That is why they have the pattern on the western side I believe. looks like a nice turn out so far.
 
John, the 200 foot tower 3 miles away? The hills on downwind are bigger and closer. I think the Mayor must live on the east side f the field!
 
Who is in ? I have a new potential member/student pilot joining us from a DC aviation meet-up group. We had our meeting Sunday night and they have some fly in ideas that seem pretty interesting.

John, the West Main Street Market is small. Is it OK if I bring my adult son along for the ride? Or will we be overloading the deli?
Also, Bring an XL Beech Babe shirt with you. I pay for it when I get there.
 
John
