Great Airports Information
Hey Gang,
Here is a link ( http://160knots.com/Travel.htm ) that is quite useful for many airports in northern and southern California. He has a lot of videos that are helpful as well. Many airport and restaurant as well as activities available in his posts. Someone was looking for info to Catalina. He has a video for that local.
Enjoy!

KFUL
KFUL - Fullerton airport has a nice little cafe called Fliers Diner (formerly tartuffles). It's a nice little airport with a flight training center called AFI. Also on the field is Air Combat where you can be a fighter pilot for a day...
Its a nice central place to tie down in Orange County.

Furnace Creek
Try to fly there on a Sunday morning to take advantage of the brunch at Furnace Creek Inn, the fancy place on the side of the hill overlooking Furnace Creek. The food is good with lots of variety and reasonable considering the location.
There's a phone in the restroom at the airport to call for a ride to the Inn, or you can walk the 1.5 miles or so to the hotel.

160knots
There is a guy who used to be out of Corona, I think he is at Chino now. He has done most of the legwork including write-ups, fuel prices, etc. Check his page out at:
http://www.160knots.com
Most of my trips have been because of his write ups including a camp over and morning breakfast at Lake Isabella. He isn't an RV8tor, but he writes well. No one is perfect.

Everybody in professional flying knows former ATC Frank Holbert. I used his advice on KMYF. He's been everywhere man

"Chicken Strip"
One of my favorites was always the Chicken Strip in Saline Valley. Its one valley west of Death Valley. I took my RV4 here several times. 1400' one-way uphill/downhill, no worries for a "properly flown" RV.
I read where it was recently closed. Too bad, the Hot Tubs and Palm trees are literally an oasis in the desert!

Dues gladly paid in Iraq...
Gladly paid to DR anyway...

The Chicken Strip reopened a year or so ago after having been closed for a while. It was still open as of this past summer. The NPS was doing a "study" late this past summer to decide how the area is to be used in the future. I'm not sure what the outcome was.
