“The best little airfield near
California, Missouri!”
Get ready to fly or drive to Phillips
Field, MO23, near California, MO, for our
annual grass strip Fly-in & Pig Roast! CalMO Flying Club invites EAA Chap. 429,
Kingdom Pilots Assoc., and anyone interested in aviation to attend. We will provide
lots of pulled pork and other food. We’ll
have a donation can to raise funds for our
nonprofit club. Bring a side dish if you can,
and contact Cal-MO President Gerald
Wood at 573-480-1300 or at
egwbmw@hotmail.com to coordinate the
food. We’ll provide plates, plasticware,
cups, tea and lemonade. Bring your own tiedowns and chairs, please.
We’ll again have kiddie planes and toy
planes for hands-on play, and we’ll do the
“Pilot Tour” of all planes and pilots before
lunch to get everyone in.

Cal-MO keeps making improvements.
We painted our two new hangars last fall
and we’re wiring them. Hangars are
available at $100 a month. We want more
members!!
Phillips Field, MO23, is about 2 mi.
northeast of California, MO. To drive
there take Hwy 50 toward California, turn N
on Business 50, go 1 mi. to Old 50, and
continue N on Industrial Dr. past the factory
area for about a mile. You will pass a
cemetery, cell tower and white barn. Turn
right on Airport Road and go downhill for
0.8 mi. to the gate at Phillips Field, which
has a prominent white sign with our name
and a Cessna on it. It may be located wrong
on older databases, about ½ mi. SW of the
true location.
We will be monitoring 122.9 MHz
(multicom) frequency instead of the old
122.8 (unicom). The 2500-ft. turf runway
is 50-130 ft. wide and usually free of
crosswinds because the field is in a sheltered
valley. Field elevation has been corrected
to 760 ft. This is a private airfield. The
runway may have some minor low spots, so
land at your own risk. The official FAA
coordinates are
38°38.455' N, 92°31.746' W at the center of
runway 18/36. In case of rain we will hold
the event on Sat., June 13.
Fun activities for kids at Phillips Field!
Lots of interesting planes will be here.
You’ll hear some pretty good pilot stories too.
The annual Cal-Mo Flying Club Fly-In & Pig Roast usually hosts a dozen airplanes & 100 folks!
