What's the best airport to use?

Airport........................

What's the best airport to use?

LOL..............Alexandria International Airport. Your driveway is bigger than this runway!

The good news is you can't get lost in the terminal.

Enjoy.

I have no idea. Maybe some of the Louisiana guys can answer this one.

Alexandria is Closest, #2 Baton Rouge, # 3 New Orleans

Yeh The Alexandria airport is the best. The airport itself is only about 10 minutes from the race site. They have re-built the terminal/ surrounding since the last APBA race here in 06.

Alexandria International Airport. That's where we flew in last time we raced there.

Good luck

Alex Airport

It is not the one at the end of the race course, that one is private.

The public on is a short way away. I flew to the NBRA Nat's their innagural year. I must say, it is a small aiport. My plane leaving did experience some issues, but at least it was free beer for the trouble. It cured me of flying to any races if at all possible. Bad juju.

We had some issues also flying into Alexandria but we had some pilot named 'Sully' flying the craft and somehow it all worked out!! Jeez, can you tell it has been a long winter!

Fantastic Racesite, excellent food, very nice people, kinda offsets the gators, snakes and small airport issues.

I Agree

Fantastic Racesite, excellent food, very nice people, kinda offsets the gators, snakes and small airport issues.

Especially if you go to Tunks. Nightlife, singing, dancing, GREAT food, gators, and all that.

Nice place to race for sure. I have raced there four or five times, loved everytime. Well the heat in August kinda sucked one year, but it was still fun.
