94th Aero Squadron is a very nice resturant, serving anything from down home cooking to steak and seafood.  The building is filled with WWII decor and the outside looks like a bombed out european farm house.  If you fly in to CMH--go to the Lane Aviation Ramp and they will take you to the 94th.  The ramp fee is $10 but waived if you buy fuel.  ATC was great.  This was my first adventure into Class C and it was a great experience.

Great BBQ and friendly service. I didn't need a vehicle so check with the airport to see if they have a courtesy car available.

When you visit Paso Robles you’ll need a car to get out to the Winery’s. The Jet Center can arrange a car for you. Run to town and have a meal first. There are several outstanding places to eat but this one may be the best Paso has to offer.  Just north of the city park you'll find a great place called Artisin. Everything we had rated a 10 and the wait staff scored no less.

If the airport diner is closed, the FBO has a courtesy car for short distances to the White Horse Diner just 1.2 miles down the road to the east.  Good, fast and HUGE portions.  If you are trying to put on a few pounds this is the place to go...the gravies, toppings, and enourmous sizes of everything will cure anyone of hunger!  Nice place - worth a trip.

Located on the banks of Lake Isabella. Small cafe ,camping on airport (campgrounds adjacent)  ,no fuel available.  Beautiful flight over mountainous terrain . Tight turn from base to final.  Check your density altitude and winds. Fun location beautiful terrain . Worth the trip!

Many are intimidated about flying into Washington Dulles in a small plane.  I will admit that I have no idea how to do it VFR but it seems to be readily accessable as two RV's flew in right after me VFR.  There is a procedure and again, I make no claim as to how to do it.  As for IFR, it is as easy as flying into any little airport anywhere.  We came down from Oxford, CT and picked up an airborne clearance just north of Lancaster VOR.  After a few minutes we got a heading to intercept 19C localizer and right on in.  The taxi is about 5 minutes and usually involves crossing the terminal ramp which is really easy.  A couple of frequency changes.  On to the FBO of your choice.  I used Signature which treated us like any other customer despite the fact that our fuel bill was $200 rather than the $2000 that they are used to.  A great experience.  We used a rental car but there are plenty of shuttles available and the Marriott among others are 2 minutes away if you want to overnight.  The museum is amazing and has one of almost anything you could want to see.  The fuel is not cheap but it isn't at any huge airport so dont worry about it.  I'm glad they welcome us with open arms.  Dont avoid Dulles.  If you can, file and go right in.  If VFR, do your homework and get on down to an amazing museum.  Happy flying.

The RCMP has been an integral part of Canada's historical and cultural landscape, helping to form and protect our great nation and playing a significant role in creating the Canadian identity. 

The RCMP Heritage Centre opened on May 23, 2007 to share the RCMP story with the world.  Located on the grounds of the RCMP Academy, ‘Depot' Division - the story of the RCMP is appropriately told where Cadets are trained and the story begins. 

Housed in a breathtaking stone, glass and concrete building designed by world-renowned architect Arthur Erickson, the RCMP Heritage Centre tells the story of the RCMP using state of the art exhibits, multimedia technologies and engaging programming and tours. 

It's a great Canadian story.  A story that is still being written.

Drago's is a GREAT dining option when in the New Orleans area.  The restaurant is located in the Hilton hotel, near the aquarium and Harrah's casino.  It is about a 20 min. drive from Lakefront, but well worth the drive in one of the FBO's crew cars.  Entrees average about $20, and service and food quality is top notch.
