Who's in NJ, PA, NY or other? I am smack in the center of NJ ... right with Rottydaddy ... (seems like we are flying off the same airport :D).

Who's around? wanna do a fly in?

Well my home airport is N85 or N40. They're like, 3 miles away from each other. But not too far from 47N, either.

If we were to meet up, I would have to drive, as a) I am not legally old enough to solo and b) I don't have any flying lessons. ::)

It would be cool to get together though.

How far away are you from Millville?

How about this guys?

Seems like they are open and it's a nice x-country for all of us ...

Rotty, are you in?  ;D

Ok ... slight change of plans.

I am going to go to Cape May (WWD) about 15 minutes south of Millville ... it seems there's a new restaurant there.

I called the airport ... the opened it recently. I like flying to Cape May better ... longer x-country for me, nice runways, gigantic parking.

Cape May is closer to Delaware also ...  ;D

We are going on Saturday ... I am going around 10am stop at Princeton to check a Diamond show of some sort then I'll keep going to Cape May for lunch.

I'd like to, but I have to work Saturday (I basically do every Saturday). But if you come down for breakfast or on Sunday any time let me know an I'll meet you there. WWD is literally 18 miles from my house (it takes 2 hours to get there by car though!).

lol ... well, I believe you. IF you are straight south on the other side of the bay you gotta go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL the way around.

Much easier getting there a straight line, huh?  ;D

Cape May is at the very teeny tip of New Jersey. That's a 5-hour drive for me.

Come up to Sky Manor (N40). Nice restaraunt, but the approach is kinda tricky. :)

Plus, I can ride my bike there. :P

Sorry to get back so late. There's a set of power lines that if you can do your entire approach within, you're considered a god-like pilot. ;D Lotsa rudder. :P


But seriously, if you want to come up my way, give me a shout and I'll be glad to meet you there. You too, rotty.
