Thumbs up Malibooz Bar & Grill at Reading (RDG)

The resturant right in the terminal has reopened under a new name, management and theme. They are open for lunch and dinner. Great food & service, large screen TVs all over, very clean as everything is new. Very interesting menu.

Default Franklin-Venango Regional (KFKL)

FKL has an excellent, attractive, aviation-themed restaurant in the terminal/FBO building with lots of glass overlooking the ramp. The food was excellent, service excellent, prices reasonable at lunch. The FBO gave a 10 cent/gallon discount for eating in the restaurant, net price 3.75/gallon full serve. Highly recommended.

Default Kutztown Airport (N31)

Kuztown Airport has a diner that draws a fair number of weekend breakfast seekers. On any given weekend you will see Luscombes, RVs, Cubs, Wacos, et cetera, flying in specifically for the diner, which is located just off the west end of Runway 17. The food is decent and the portions large. You can taxi up and park your bird right next to the diner. Kuztown has both a grass (10-28 is 2260 Ft long) and a mecadam (17-35 is 2435 feet long) runway. Beware of the dirt pile off the end of 35. Also the large dip in the runway at the same end. Its a doozie.

Plan a flight out heading WNW to Grimes Airport (8N1) after breakfast and visit the Golden Age Air Museum. Its roughly two miles East of Bethel PA. It has a beautiful, wide and flat, 2720 foot long grass strip. This quiet little strip will take you back to the early days of flight and remind you why you spent your kids college money on this hobby.

Anyone in the Eastern PA, Western NJ area looking for a build workshop space with and included paint booth? I've found a location for rent in Hellertown PA (Exit 67 off Rt. 78) that has three separate work areas and a paint booth.

Each work area could easily host two (big) projects, so if I could get six builders in the area we could have an ideal (heated) work location real cheap. Plus there would be the camadarie of other builders. I'll post some pictures shortly but I'm getting some more specifics from the realtor today.

Default Grove City Outlet Mall

Mall is short-ish walk from the airport. Food close to airport, even closer than mall.

Default 7N8 Butter Valley Golf Port

Little gem hidden in PA hills. The runway has grass extension in excellent shape even for RV-xA models without anti splat job. Bring your golf clubs or just come to the restaurant. There is a lake by runway 34 watch out for birds there make your final a bit angled.

Default The Runway

I found a good one last week, and it was just down the road: The Runway Restaurant, Butler County Airport, KBTP. Located north side of runway, east end of ramp. Large ramp area for parking. Opens at 11:00 for lunch, closed Mondays. The restaurant is perched up on the second floor of the new terminal building with walls of glass, providing a great view of arrivals and departures. And, it can be busy. is I flew down from Clarion with the boys last week, and during our lunch a least a dozen airplanes flew in to join us, so the place was filled with pilots. And, lots of other flying activity at airport to occupy us during lunch.
