A chain of 20 restaurant's, about 5 miles from AGC. Worth the drive. Expect good food AND good service. Food -- Hot Metal Diner: Never again - Sour Milk... with a side of sour attitude. Service was lacking, food was smothered in butter (even the "healthy option"). I know their niche is to have hard nose service but should be a line somewhere and they crossed it. I tried to point out that my Half and Half for my coffee was soured and smelled rancid. It shouldn't be a surprise since they leave it sitting out at room temperature. Their attitude was ridiculous. It made me wonder what other simple food handling rules they ignore. No American Express and can't leave a tip on credit card. KAGS BUSH FIELD AUGUSTA GA Misc -- Golf!! If your there for a couple of days. Here are some ideas, Guest villas at the River Course, great deal and nice golf. Another choice is the Houndslake country club in Aiken.

If your overnight there is a casino 20 minutes to the north of town. KANE ANOKA CO-BLAINE MINNEAPOLIS MN FBOs -- I do not recommend ANE. Only two FBO's and Crossroads Aviation (chicken coop) is small and does not offer anything but unprofessionalism and impoliteness. Some construction on the field high hopes that it is halfway decent service center. BIG THUMBS DOWN! FBOs -- watch for tornatic activity KAOH ALLEN COUNTY LIMA OH Historic -- Neil Armstrong Museum 10 min. south on I75. Small, but really good.

Food -- I agree with the comment about Spondivits. They go for the atmosphere of a harbor restaurant, but (for those of us familiar with GOOD seafood) they fall way short. I find a much better meal can be had at Malone's. Food -- Spondivits, 1219 Virginia Ave, East Point - YUCK! Food is VERY overpriced, Waitresses act like they are too good to be waitresses and don't need the money... but yet they are ghetto. Wouldn't go back if was the last place to eat - Very long wait at dinner too. Food -- Taco Mac. Tons of beer on tap, even more in the bottle. Food is acceptable. KAUS AUSTIN-BERGSTROM INTL AUSTIN TX Food -- Take a crew car to I-35, go left, stay on feeder. First red light go right. Twin Peaks restaurant is on left about 100 yards down.

I recommend that location of the Iron Hill brewery as well, Klondike Kate's, Deer Park Tavern, and Home Grown Cafe. Newark is the location of the University of Delaware, with 19,000 students. So I'm going to have to dispute the "eye candy" comment. And there's a great college town vibe.

Arrived, line service was slow to assist but the customer service reps quickly picked up slack (even brought out a luggage cart). There are several places to eat in the area, and there is a free crew car. Pilot's lounge is updated, but there isn't a pool table and the wireless was not working 100% - however, the customer service rep let me use her desk as needed in the interim. Overall, price for gas was high but the service inside more than made up for it. Misc -- While visiting PNE, I chose Atlantic for this trip and I have to say that I wish I would've chosen them for all previous trips as well. First, PNE is a way better alternative to PHL because you do not have to deal with any commercial traffic. As far as Atlantic vs the JetCenter - the Jet Center offers low fuel prices and low customer service to go with those prices. On our last visit we had six pax and a full lav - the line guys refused to do lavs because it was Sunday, but they were kind enough to show us the lav cart if we wanted to do it ourselves. This was the last reason I needed to convince the owners to use Atlantic over the Jet Center. Atlantic's facility is a little more open, but does not have a pool table or hot tub. They do offer complimentary sodas and have a fitness room, and there is are free crew cars and lots of things to do in the area and the girls at the counter are VERY knoweledgable. Food -- Crew car 3 minutes to the Village Cafe. Good breakfast and lunch buffet. Folks at Atlantic said there was a good bit more close but we didn't have time FBOs -- Atlantic Aviation has a fitness room at the FBO, so don't forget your gym bag Food -- PNE is a great alternative to PHL. There are two FBOs on the field, Atlantic and NEPJC. While NEPJC has a nice facility and better fuel pricing, Atlantic is my first choice for several reasons. First: Atlantic bucks. Can't beat them. The service @ Atlantic outside is nice, but quickly gets better on the inside. The ladies at the counter are very friendly, and very helpful with anything you need. They are very familiar with the area, and all attractions / restaurants. The only place I wouldn't go to eat is Red Lobster, other than that there are plenty of choices for great meals. KPPA PERRY LEFORS FIELD PAMPA TX Food -- Texas Rose Steakhouse. I always order the either the medium ribeye or the angus salad. Both are very good. Burgers are really good there as well. -bhaiduk KPRC ERNEST A. LOVE FIELD PRESCOT AZ Food -- I generally agree about Suzies's for food, but won't comment on coffee.

GREAT southern home cooking, all you can eat for (that includes drink) Home cooking buffet style KRDU RALEIGH-DURHAM INTL RALEIGH NC FBOs -- I had a couple of hours to kill here in RDU. I forgot about the general aviation terminal. It has a great pilots lounge that is unused (which is an understatement). It is a great place for flight crew members to relax. The snooze room in the pilot crew area is probably the best I have ever seen and looks like a nice hotel. The general aviation terminal is located directly between Tac Air and Landmark FBO and is a classic example of extreme waste of tax payer dollars. There is a restaurant on the second floor that is more than adequate for a quick bite. As a corporate pilot I wouldn't say I enjoy sitting in an FBO but the extra GA terminal does give a second option if your wait turns out to be longer than expected (never happens right?). Food -- Angus Barn!! Outstanding, make your captain pay, its pricey. Some hotels give rides. Food -- Carolina Ale House. Located nearby the airport in the Brier Creek area. Lots of TV's perfect for games etc. Great food too. KRFD GREATER ROCKFORD ROCKFORD IL Food -- Try the Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery! Good food and a great view.

Drive half-mile to the new Arby's Hot Bar (yes, I said Arby's) and try something HEALTHY for a change. Then drive half-mile back to airport and visit the Virginia Aviation Museum.

Sports -- Urban Fitness is a gym about 4 miles up the road. Atlantic has FREE passes to the gym. It has a Movie room with all the cardio you need while you watch a good movie. Atlantic has a good shower for after too. Good smoothie bar at the gym too. KSDL SCOTTSDALE SCOTTSDALE AZ Food -- Uncle Sam's. Located about 10 minutes away on Shea and 90th St. Cheapest happy hour you will find. 4-6PM 75 cent draft beers, pitchers. Food isn't bad either. Food -- Sushi Brokers.

Gerat music, Jimmy the bartender is also in the weekend band. You wont have a bad time!! KSEA SEATTLE-TACOMA INTL SEATTLE WA Food -- Across the street from the airport - on Hwy. 99 (aka "International Blvd.") - is a 24-hour restaurant called 13 Coins. Probably the best restaurant by far within a 10-mile radius of the airport, and has many downtown restaurants beat as well. I've been eating there for years, and have yet to have a bad food or service experience. You can sit at a table, or the chef's line and watch them cook for you, and they have live music (usually jazz) in the evenings. I would say it's about a 10-14 minute walk from the airport...be careful crossing streets, as it's on a majoy thruway, but definitely check this out between layovers or when you get "bored". -SL KSEP CLARK FIELD MUNI STEPHENVILLE TX Food -- Everyone knows- Hard Eight BBQ is some of the best food in Texas. Owners of the restaurant are pilots and have positioned golf carts at the airport for use driving back and forth to the restaurant (5 minute drive).

Hotels -- We stayed at the Ayres Hotel 325 Bristol Street Costa Mesa, CA 92626 (714)-549-0300- Great hotel. Atlantic FBO hooked us with a rate under 0 for a suite with free breakfast. Nice Hotel!

If you stay at the Abraham Lincoln hotel downtown you can walk to all sorts of interesting places. My favorite place to stay. AND you have to eat at Saputo's restaurant. Local place.

KSPS WICHITA MUNICIPAL WICHITA FALLS TX Misc -- Sleep.......theres not much else KSRQ SARASOTA/BRADENTON INTL SARASOTA FL Hotels -- If you have a couple of day lay over. Try the Siesta Key Inn on south Siesta Key. Very nice and super clean Inn. Family run but they have a three night minimum. They will do two nights for pilots.

KTCC TUCUMCARI MUNI TUCUMCARI NM Misc -- My wife & I just returned a few weeks ago from a trip across the country in our homebuilt. We stopped in TCC for fuel and an overnighter, the day before Hurricane Norbert came through. The plan was to get out of there before Norb came through, but Norb moved pretty fast. Who'da thunk that one would be grounded by a hurricane in eastern NM in Oct? When Norb left, he left the door open for a cold front that had been energized by all the moisture from Norb. The airplane and I are instrument rated & current, but I don't do thunderstorms or real low stuff. They should have paid us to stay there - we brought them over 2.5 inches of rain in the four days we were stuck. If you've ever seen the animated movie "Cars," you've seen a representation of TCC and other small towns along the old Rt. 66 highway. The makers of the movie traveled Rt. 66 and took notes. TCC and I believe Seligman, AZ served as their models, primarily. There is a geologic formation outside of TCC that served as a model for some of the scenery in the movie. There are few things to do in TCC. There are a couple of older motels along old Rt. 66 in town, that will provide transportation from the airport. We stayed at one of these (the Safari Motel), and it was quite comfortable with modern amenities in the rooms. The owner is a good guy who will provide transportation in town to the extent he's able, with his other duties. Another '50s era motel right across the street (the Blue Swallow) also shows up in the extras tacked on to the end of the CD for the "Cars" movie. There are two museums in TCC. The Dinosaur Museum, operated by the local two year college, is excellent if you're at all interested in that sort of thing. The city historical museum is closer to being a collection of antique flea market stuff, than a museum. They do have a NM ANG F-100 parked in their yard, which is interesting for us aviation people. They indicated that they're interested in getting rid of it; it's in pretty sad shape. If you have several hundred grand and several thousand hours to restore it, give them a call. We did dine at the best restaurant in town, the Pow Wow In and Lizard Lounge (I am not making this up!). If you like Tex-Mex, this is a good one. We did stay in a more modern chain motel at the east end of town for our last night, only because the Safari Motel was previously booked by a film crew for that night. The restaurant nearby was unmemorable, one way or the other. In retrospect, we're happy to have stayed in one of the older places toward the center of town. The airport has a courtesy car, but its use is limited to the briefest of visits into town, then back to the airport. No half-day or overnighters with the car. So, we were on foot for most of our stay there. There are a number of quite well done murals on various building walls throughout the old part of town, and these are worth the walk for the most part. Otherwise, do as we do when we travel by personal airplane, and bring plenty to read and a puzzle book or two. You'll need them, eventually. KTDW TRADEWIND AMARILLO TX Food -- Lots of Restaurants on I-40 West of the Airport. KTEB TETERBORO TETERBORO NJ Food -- Minadu's for Japanese and AWESOME Sushi buffet.

Interesting atmosphere and the local non-aviators were fun to talk to and very outgoing and interesting to talk with. Wasn't the quickest meal but it was good and I would eat there again.
