Need trip adivce. KEWK to KBGR

No, Wichita. But if I was flying near Sporty's I'd stop
just to see what it was like.

My home town is Springfield, IL, I would always stop in and
see my mom before she died if I was anywhere near and was
dead heading or flying cargo.
Twin Comanche is small, I'd stop often to let my passengers
stretch their legs.

You can deviate from a straight line by quite a lot if you
do it early and not add a lot of miles. GC distance KEWK to
KBGR is 1,335 NM. Batavia is about 185 miles south of the
great circle direct track. EWK to I69 is 615 NM and I69 to
BGR is 766 NM, for a total of 1,381 NM or 50 miles
difference with a 185 mile southern diversion from track.

I would too. Just want to set your expectations relative to the "restaurant with
a view of the runway". It's a bunch o' vending machines. Don't get me wrong,
it's a nice airport, just don't go there for the restaurant.

If there were ever a list of airports that needed a restaurant, this
airport would fall at or near the top of this list, IMO.

A restaurant doesn't fit Hal's business model.
