Fun places to fly

Postby Major4567 » Fri Mar 28, 2014 8:36 pm

I am looking for fun places to fly to. Yes, I am familiar with the website. I am located in Columbus, Ohio. Museums, sight seeing, hiking, etc.

Been a long time since I flew there but Put in Bay was a lot of fun or maybe you have already been there. http://www.putinbay.com/airport.htm

Sportys Pilot Shop down at Clermont County airport is fun. I think Beavee Co (BVI) is supposed to have a museum. It's close by but go check out Urbana and the B-17 they're restoring. There's also a little museum at Lancaster (LHQ). It's a pain to get to, but Burke Lakefront is walking distance to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and a Korean era US submarine you can go through. There's a nice restaurant at Muncie, In (MIE) as well as Cincy Lunken (LUK).

I'll keep thinking!

Waco Field (1WF) has a nice little museum on it. Home of Waco Biplanes. Nice little Grass strip. You can pull ap and park right at the museum. http://www.wacoairmuseum.org

I'm not too far from Put-in Bay. Loved my last two visits. We should plan a Sonex gathering there some time in the summer.

cheers

A gathering at Put in Bay would be cool. I think we should.

Craig

If you ever want to go flying or meet sometime, we can exchange information. Mike and Scott May also be interested.

Put-in-Bay, OH (3W2) Sat Jul 19th

Postby Critson » Sun May 18, 2014 8:52 am

Our EAA chapter 44 based in Brockport NY (7G0) is planning a fly out to Put-in-Bay, OH (3W2) Sat Jul 19th. Some are staying overnight. I am planning on flying to Port Clinton, Ohio (PCW) on the Friday evening. This is home to EAA "Tin Goose" Chapter 1247. They have a museum, restaurant, fuel and hotels within walking distance. This airport is nine miles from Put-in-Bay. I know Mike, Steve and Scott are interested. I am sure we could easily get at least five or six Sonex aircraft there.
