A few notes from when I lived in Chapel Hill and flew an Ercoupe a few
years ago.

snip of great stuff

Wow -- thanks Ryan, Jim, "John", Vincent, Don, and anyone else I'm
forgetting. Sounds like we could easily take a month just to explore
that area of the country!

The weather will dictate our schedule, as it always does, but I think
it's gonna be W. Virgina tonight, Kitty Hawk Monday, up and down the
coast Tuesday, Pensacola Wednesday....and by then, who knows? We're
like gypsies on these trips, so it doesn't do any good to think much
beyond Wednesday...


If you're in the area, you'll regret not spending a full day in
Charleston...

The museum at P-cola is nice, but (IMO) it is the only reason to visit the
city. For a family, even an aviation family, there may be better
destinations unless you're gonna be in the area anyway. For instance, the
Air Force Museum at Warner Robbins, GA (Near Macon) is 2nd only to the Air
Force museum in terms of USAF (and AAC) aircraft on display. And it is
closer to Charleston and Savannah.

And, if you go to Warner Robbins, you can turn the trip back north, visit
the Aircraft Spruce store at Falcon Field near Atlanta, head NW to the Space
and Rocket museum at Huntsville, Alabama to see the only erected (IIRC)
Saturn rocket in existance.
