Forget Batavia for Sporty's. Unless you are going to specifically pick
something up, thumbing through their catalog or paging through their online
catalog is much, much more interesting.

Don't get me wronge - beautiful airport. Beautiful Sporty's building. But
what's inside was a waste of time for me.

Small selection of what they offer - although they could get you anything
you wanted at the counter. No restaurant of any kind on the field. In fact,
even the vending machines were below par.

I was expecting to spend several hours there. Instead, I paid for fuel,
spent 10 minutes looking at everything they had on display, had lunch of a
bag of chips and a Pepsi, and got out of there as quickly as I could.

I thought Sporty's was neat for a short visit in Ohio. If you make it that
far east might as well drop by Downtown Island KDKX in Knoxville, Tn or the
warbird museum in Gatlinburg Tn.

We have a Cherokee 140 and have flown to OSH twice.

So this year we decided we would try instead to fly from California to
North Carolina (FFA)!

But scheduling problems cut two days out of our schedule, making the east
coast a bit too much of a stretch.

So we're planning on leaving Friday from CMA, going east to Amarillo on
the first day. After that... some combination of where the weather is
better and what is interesting. We're thinking we'll go east of the
Mississippi, perhaps Ohio, Kentucky, etc. So my question for you
midwesterners is: where is interesting to visit? Any great airports? Any
good museums? Anything noteworthy? We're pretty flexible on where we can
go, so give us some suggestions and I'll post a trip report in a week and
a half or so!
