Hi folks,
We're headed up to Bangor and Bar Harbor to cool down for a vacation next week and I was thinking about renting an airplane for a day or two and touring part of the state. Any thoughts on neat destinations in the area? Also, I wonder if any FBOs or clubs rent Bonanzas up there? All thoughts and ideas would be most appreciated... Thanks! Patrick |

On 18 October we will have some $100 hamburgers (actually only $3) for
anyone that wants to visit. We have 2000 feet of nice green grass.

If you go to the popular restaurant at Sanford, make that a $108.00
hamburger. They now have a "handling" fee if you tie down at the FBO next door. -- Roger Long Patrick wrote in message ...

hope you can come to our fly-in and have a hamburger. Just drop in and say
hello. We sometimes get 5 or 6 GA at the annual fly-in. Last year two helicopters stopped in for a visit. The more the better for the spectators. Everyone is welcome to stop by.

Wiscasset (KIWI) is a nice location (coastal, a bit NE of Portland), and is
a short drive from a great $100 lobster roll at Red's. The very friendly staff at the FBO lent me the crew truck to head into town a few months ago. "Patrick" wrote in message ...

Took a late day flight out to Knox County Regional(KRKD) in Rockland, Maine
last month. Very scenic flight out along the coast north of Portland. FBO folks (Downeast Air) were really friendly and easy to deal with. Very accomodating even though it was nearly 8pm and they were getting ready to head out for the night. I think there was some place to eat near the airfield but it wasn't in our plan. |

IIRC, there is also an aviation museum at Knox county that is supposed to be
pretty good. I've never seen it myself, as I didn't have enough time to go the two times I was at knox county.

There is a great lobster restaurant right on the water a short drive from
Belfast, Me (BST). But if you're up there late next week, the place to go is the International Seaplane Fly-In on Moosehead Lake at Greenville, Me. Great atmosphere and some incredible flying during the short takeoff contests and bush pilot races. Maybe the DC3 on floats will be flying. A litttle different than the Oshkosh experience. There's a shuttle bus from Greenville (3B1) |
