Gilliam-Mc Connell Airfield (5NC3) in North carolina Its listed as a private strip on the sectional but they welcome fly in traffic. I stopped there on my way to Moultrie the owner has a restaurant on the field called the Pig n Poke excellent barbecue worth the stop. The airfield was not in my GPS data base so pilotage was required.

The Pick-N-Pig is a must stop...great lunch place. I've lost count of the number of times I've eaten there.
