What is your favorite Fly-in location? Here are some of ours:

ALABAMA

EKY Bessemer, AL The Hangar, a new on-field restaurant. Bob Steward says: "I've been to this Sports bar with aviation theme, good $100 burger, etc." Region 4 had a fly-in Saturday Feb 21 @ lunch. 9 Aircraft and 18 attendees, reviews were very positive, with requests to meet there again.

ARKANSAS

MEZ Mena, AR Aircraft paint and engine shops -- of interest if you are thinking paint/engine/upholstery. Stephen Coffey Be advised, after a long flight, there isn't a beer for MILES. And the Sun Country Inn is much newer/nicer than the other options if you get the "privilege" of getting socked in for 3 days like I did. Bob Steward says: "I can second the recommendation for Sun Country Inn. I've stayed there and at 2 other local motels while working at the Mena Airport on various Grummans. Lime Tree has a nice restaurant (Sun Country has no food), but the building is older and the rooms less nice than Sun Country. I ate breakfast at Lime Tree multiple times."

FLORIDA

55J Fernandina Beach / Amelia Island. Stephen Coffey The Ritz there occasionally does last minute specials at a good price. The airport is a 5 minute cab ride to the hotel. Downtown is kinda quaint and cool. Quick and easy SE get away.

GEORGIA

FFC Falcon Field Peachtree City, GA Aircraft Spruce East, Dixie Wing of Confederate Air Force Restoration Center

LZU Gwinnett County Lawrenceville, GA EAA 690 Pancake Breakfast 1st Saturday every month. Program follows @ 10:30

PDK Dekalb-Peachtree in North Atlanta, GA Downwind Restaurant (on the second story of the Administration Building next to Epps Air Service). Has balcony/deck for outdoor dining when Wx is good.

RYY Cobb County Airport-Mc Collum Field Elevation Chophouse Stephen Coffey "Higher end food, but pretty good. Nice HUGE glass wall facing the runway."

KENTUCKY

OWB Owensboro, KY Moonlight BBQ (not on field, only a short drive), Bill and Carol Scott's Precision Engine shop. Bob Steward says: "I visit Moonlight BBQ everytime I stop by Precision Engine to see Bill and Carol."
