Porter County, in Valporaiso, Indiana?

I second that suggestion. The folks at the FBO are great. Courtesy car
to lots of nearby restaurants. It's been a stop along the way to OSH for
our family the last 5 years.

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.

Hi Roy,

1b1 is perfect for our 2nd stop! Timing works out super!

Now we need a place to stop in upstate Indiana....

Suggestions?

KEYE, Eagle Creek, Indianapolis suburbs. Next to Rick's Boatyard Cafe.

Another good suggestion, farther east. Located on the northwest side of
Indianapolis.

I'm planning a trip from Newton, KS to Bangor, ME. We'll be flying a Twin
Comanche. Time frame would be in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

If anyone lives in between this route and can boast about their airport,
I'd love to hear about it. I don't have any idea where to stop so I
thought I'd turn to here and ask for advice. I know i can check
airnav.com for fuel prices... but I like the semi-personal touch of
forums.


Great Circle Mapper link - 165 mph Ground Speed ok? :-)

Smoking or non-smoking room ...I mean Suite?

Jay's Inn is 1,352 nm
vs.
Direct, at 1,338 nm
= 14 extra miles (5 minutes/165mph).

This way you could start off your trip - the evening before, get 2 1/2 hours
behind you, AND see Jay's (aviation theme) Hotel.

Next day's only a 7 hour hop. g

Great Circle Mapper is a "GREAT" visual aid for these kind of newsgroup
questions.

Interesting that this field is mentioned, KVPC... I will be going there
on Saturday to pick up a granddaughter...
