I flew down to Harris Ranch today for lunch and landed on the
freshly repaved runway. I took two non-pilots with me as well, to help spread the gospel. John -- John Clear - http://www.clear-prop.org/ Holy crap, I just got back from there not 30 minutes ago. Its a pretty cool airport. Were you by any chance in a 172 without a back window? There was an older 172 leaving just as we were about to shut it down and fill up. Theres an airport about 150 miles north of where I'm based called Willows that I used to go to just about every night for a solid month. Theres a really good cafe there that gets a lot of business. I just counted in my logbook, and since August 1st, I've been there exactly 32 times. The reason it's so popular with the flight school I work at, is because it's open 24 hours. Most other airport cafes in the area have ridiculous hours like noon to 3:00PM Monday-Thursday. The only time a plane is available long enough to fly there and back is during the night, so it works out well. Oh, and the pie is the best in California. |

Theres an airport about 150 miles north of where I'm based called Willows that I used to go to just about every night for a solid month. I'll have to check it out. It is 123.4nm due north for me, according to AirNav. John -- John Clear - http://www.clear-prop.org/ |
