Wtd: Lunch & Fuel recommendations - East Coast
Neil Gould wrote: Hi all, My wife & I are planning a trip to the East Coast, and would appreciate some insights into airports with good fuel and food at or near these locations: Duchess (POU) Cumberland County is just north of there. There is an excellent restaurant at the north end of the field. Great all-you-can-eat brunch on Sundays. George Patterson They say that nothing's certain except death and taxes. The thing is, death doesn't get worse every time Congress goes into session. Will Rogers |

Penn Yan (PEO)
Williamsport (IPT) Duchess (POU) Hartford / Brainard (HFD) Windham (IJD) I fly almost exclusively out of HFD. Great airport, plenty of parking/fuel, decent restaurant at the north terminal. As you probably already know it is a large airport, 4500ft or so and controlled. Windham is a bit smaller, uncontrolled, and as far as I know there isnt any food, but gas shouldnt be a problem there. If youre willing to walk, about a quarter mile from the airport is a large strip mall, fast food, TGI Fridays, Walmart etc. Ive flown into POU but never really stopped to look around; good airport though, controllers there are great. If youre willing to go a little farther east and south, Block Island is a bit of a challenge, great place for lunch right there though! Last but not least, west of HFD there is an airport (I dont have a sectional so I dotn know the identifier) called Mountain Meadow (aka Jonnycake), small, narrow runway, but not bad. Incredible restaurant right on the grounds, called Landing Zone, best damn chili ive ever had! Highly recommend. Should have fuel but check the AFD. |

IPT is a good size airport with a restaurant in the terminal building and fuel is available at DeGol. They will come to the terminal ramp to fuel you. Ask to park at the east ramp and you exit the gate and walk to the terminal. Be sure to write down the code for the lock before you leave the ramp, it's on the wall next to the gate. If you want to go in town, I would recommend Johnson's Cafe. Thanks! IPT is a likely destination, should I take that route, as I should have adequate fuel on board by the time I get there. Neil |

If the winds are good, I can make it, so I appreciate your feedback. I prefer an on-field restaurant, as this is just a fuel & feed stop hopefully consuming less than 1 1/2 hours of the xc before continuing on East. Neil |
