Hi Dennis,

You wrote, in part..

The list is unfortunately out of date. Restaurant at Morris has been
closed for over three years and Lansing for about a year and a half. The
"within walking distance" is a stretch. Few of those on list are
"on-airport" restaurants. How come Rochelle -KRPJ- isn't on the list?...<

Thing about that site sat which I generated the list of airport restaurants is it is strictly pilot-contributor maintained on an as you go basis.
If someone put Moriss's restaurant on 5 years ago and it's gone now, unless someone like you goes on the site (joining is free and they do not spam you) and corrects that it stays there.

It was not intended to be a list of all airports within 75 mile."
I only searched for all within 75 miles believed to have restaurants on airport or in walking distance. I guess no one has entered KRPJ as known to have restaurant on or walkable to.
If you know otherwise you can get on there and add the restaurant .

Today there were 12 planes at the Rochelle restaurant at noon, including
a flight of six and a Baron. The line boys offered a ride in the golf
cart and provided chocks. Great day for flying!

Hi Alex,

The list is unfortunately out of date. Restaurant at Morris has been
closed for over three years and Lansing for about a year and a half. The
"within walking distance" is a stretch. Few of those on list are
"on-airport" restaurants. How come Rochelle -KRPJ- isn't on the list?

I'm planning on flying to Rochelle today. I just wish it were farther
away so I could get in more flying time. Although it is just far enough
to qualify for cross country as a Sport Pilot.

Alex, what are you flying and where are you based? I'd like to meet up
with fellow LSA pilots for lunch.

RE: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Airport Restaurants

thanks, dennis. a buddy who lives up near mt. carroll and I are trying to arrange our own 'fly-in breakfast'. RPJ was our preferred place but the restaurant there doesn't open till 11 and he has to be back home by 11. pete's at scahumburg also opens too late. RPJ had an earlier opening this summer so I'm guessing that 11am is their "winter" hours. charlie's at clow is possible but it makes no sense for me to drive to ARR and rent the plane when I'm maybe a 20-min drive from clow. thanks for the other suggestions.

Hi Richard,

You've to the closest ones. Rochelle by far the best.

I don't like Schaumburg because you have to get down really low under the Chicago Class B over densely populated area. Also pretty pricey.

Lake Lawn C59 Lake Lawn Lodge is about a 1/3 mile walk from the airport.

http://lakelawnresort-px.trvlclick.com/

Spring Brooke (Pvt) at Senea -- Pvt -- 1LL2

Call ahead to get permission to land. Restaurant at marina is very nice -- you can also look at million dollar yachts while you're there. 18 right , 36 left. Powerlines on 18 approach -- be careful!

815-357-8666 to get landing permission.

I've got lots more good ones if you want -- but you'd have to fly 100-125 nm -- not long in a Skycatcher.

By the way, this group is pretty much dead. Many more Sport Pilots and LSA owners/renters on

Fly safely and often,

Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Waco Composite Squadron Civil Air Patrol Wreaths Across America Fund Raising Event

Local Veterans Remembered During the Holidays

Wreaths Across AmericaTM Day To Honor Veterans At Oakwood Cemetery And Over 750+ Participating Locations Nationwide.

For Immediate Release

October 11th, 2013, Waco, Texas - On Saturday December, 14th, 2013 members of the Waco community will gather together to honor veterans during the holiday season as part of the annual Wreaths Across America Day.

The Civil Air Patrol's Waco Composite Squadron has volunteered to conduct the ceremony this year at Oakwood Cemetery on Saturday December 14th, 2013 starting at 11:00 a.m. CST. Seven ceremonial wreaths will be placed to remember all soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who served, honor their sacrifices, and teach our younger generations about the high cost of our freedoms.

Specially designated wreaths for the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, and POW/MIA will be placed on memorials during a ceremony that will be coordinated simultaneously at over 750 participating locations all across the country.

There are over 35,000 persons buried at Oakwood Cemetery. Although the exact number of graves belonging to veterans is unknown, approximately 6% of McLennan County is a military veteran. Our goal is to raise funds for over 2,000 wreaths to place on the graves of veterans. This is a major fund raising event for the cadet program in Waco.Currently almost 100 wreaths are slated for delivery to Oakwood Cemetery but sponsorships are still available up until November 25th. Sponsorships received after that date will be applied to 2014 events.

In 2013 it is projected that over 400,000 wreaths will be placed nationwide, by over 150,000 volunteers as part of the Wreaths Across America mission to Remember, Honor, and Teach.

The Wreaths Across AmericaTM story began over 20 years ago when the Worcester Wreath Company from Harrington, Maine initiated a tradition of donating and placing wreaths on the headstones of our Nation's fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery. Recognition of the service and sacrifice of our veterans, and their families, is especially poignant during the traditional holiday season.

Worcester Wreath Company continues to be a major supporter of the project, donating over 30,000 total wreaths in 2011. Over 400,000 wreaths will be sponsored by individuals, businesses, and groups from communities Nation-wide. Wreaths will be placed in all 50 states from Maine to Alaska and Hawaii, and at 24 national cemeteries on foreign soil.

If you would like to sponsor a wreath, or would like more information about events planned for your community, please call Jason Unwin at 254-230-9860 or 719-671-2407 or by email jasonbunwin@yahoo.com for more information.

Persons may also order online by going to http://waa.convio.net/goto/TXCAP148
