Mallards Landing Airpark (GA04) in Locust Grove, Georgia, featuring a 4,500-foot-long turf runway,. has been home for Leigh Hubner and his family for nearly a decade. “It’s a crazy story how we got here at Mallards Landing,” said Hubner of the fly-in community south of Atlanta. “My wife and I lived in Los Angeles, where I had a Decathlon out in Van Nuys. But I was keen to get a Christian Eagle and had been looking around, when one popped up in Georgia for sale that I really liked. I agreed to look at it, and I blame the era we live in where you put an address in the GPS and just follow it until you get there. So, I didn’t actually stop to notice the plane was at an airpark.

We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
