Narrative:

On a sunday afternoon I departed AL15 to the north to make a few touch and goes. My LORAN was apparently malfunctioning because I began to do touch and goes at what my LORAN said was foley airport. After the second touch and go a van came out to the end of the runway and was observing my touch and goes. The van was apparently a military van so when I gained enough altitude I checked over the area with my new orleans sectional and determined that I was at the wrong airport (by about 3-4 mi). The map did not indicate in any way that I can determine, that one shouldn't land at that airport. After calling several other local pilots, they too thought it was ok to land there, but I'm not absolutely sure, so I filed this report. The airport was nolf-wolf.
