Well my home airport is N85 or N40. They're like, 3 miles away from each other. But not too far from 47N, either.

If we were to meet up, I would have to drive, as a) I am not legally old enough to solo and b) I don't have any flying lessons. Roll Eyes

It would be cool to get together though.

How far away are you from Millville?

How about this guys?

Seems like they are open and it's a nice x-country for all of us ...

Rotty, are you in?  Grin

Ok ... slight change of plans.

I am going to go to Cape May (WWD) about 15 minutes south of Millville ... it seems there's a new restaurant there.

I called the airport ... the opened it recently. I like flying to Cape May better ... longer x-country for me, nice runways, gigantic parking.

Cape May is closer to Delaware also ...  Grin

We are going on Saturday ... I am going around 10am stop at Princeton to check a Diamond show of some sort then I'll keep going to Cape May for lunch.

I'd like to, but I have to work Saturday (I basically do every Saturday). But if you come down for breakfast or on Sunday any time let me know an I'll meet you there. WWD is literally 18 miles from my house (it takes 2 hours to get there by car though!).

lol ... well, I believe you. IF you are straight south on the other side of the bay you gotta go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL the way around.

Much easier getting there a straight line, huh?  Grin

Cape May is at the very teeny tip of New Jersey. That's a 5-hour drive for me.

Come up to Sky Manor (N40). Nice restaraunt, but the approach is kinda tricky. Smiley

Plus, I can ride my bike there. Tongue

Sorry to get back so late. There's a set of power lines that if you can do your entire approach within, you're considered a god-like pilot. Grin Lotsa rudder. Tongue


But seriously, if you want to come up my way, give me a shout and I'll be glad to meet you there. You too, rotty.

Hey Rim, I honestly don't know what's the situation with your parents. I don't know if I need to get permission in writing or something since you are under age.

I did the EAA Young Eagles thing and i took up 9 year old kids but that was covered (legally and most importantly insurance wise) under EAA's insurance.

In your case ... I don't know for sure.

Anybody knows what the rules are?

KVAY is anice airport.  The FAA wanted the to extend the
runways to use as a emergency landing for small
Commuter jets and planes but the neighbors were
fighting it.  I don't know were it stands now.  When the
time comes for me to take lessons it will most likely be
there.  Need to start soon since i'm in my 40's( but, still
think i'm 18 according to my Wife )

Well, hey. My dad would probably drive me and give oral consent. I know it has the same legal content as written consent. And I wasn't even referring to you taking me up, but if you want to, fine by me. Smiley

I imagine your own insurance would cover a minor as it would any other passenger, but I'd feel sorta... vulnerable... without  (legally binding? written?) permission from the 'rents. 
   In the very unlikely event that something happened and the kid gets hurt, the parents might be inclined (and encouraged by their lawyer) to go after the pilot for a little something extra (like everything you've got), unless it could be proven to the court that they gave permission and the pilot had insurance for passengers.
Come to think of it, they might sue anyway... Tongue
That's it; no more passengers for me... Grin

Seriously, though...sounds like a question for AOPA.

Ah! That's the ticket! I'll give them a call!

Nothing personal Rim ... if we were in the Golden Age of Aviation when aviation was an adventure and getting in trouble was YOUR fault and YOUR own responsibility (and not someone else's) and lawyers didn't rule the land I'd do it in a heartbeat.

In today's litigious society, if you fart too loud and give a heart attack to a bird, which in turns falls in the shopping basked of an old lady thus causing her "psychological discomfort" you'd get sued by her, the City, the Vice-president of PETA for unusual and cruel killing of a bird and by the NRA for denying them a "potential target".

You get the point ...  Grin

Hey, if I flap my arms fast enough and keep up with you
guys, can I come.  I've got to learn to fly because it looks
like you guys have a great time and driving down isn't as
fun. I hate the A.C. Expressway and the Garden State
Parkway even more.

Hmmm... I was gonna fly this weekend, too, but I'm trying to get a friend off my list to go with me. Maybe I'll book 715  for Sunday morning, and we'll do a fly-in again.
There's a lot of pctures I have to re-take down there!

Been to Chillicothe, though- it smells funny.  Tongue  Grin

Hey Rotty... those are to outstanding day-flights. Burke Lakefront Airport is right on lake Erie (ala Meigs on Lake Michigan) and is within walking distance of great places to eat ( a cafe sitting on a pier full of WWII ships and a submarine), The Rock Hall and Cleveland Stadium.

Flying to Wright Patterson AFB Musem is something every pilot should do once in their life. You can't actually fly TO it (it's an AFB), but Xenia, Ohio is a short cab-ride away. Then.. you hop over to Urbana for the neatest $100 hamburger around. It's just how it should be. You land and taxi right up to the restaurant and can watch planes come and go from your table.

If you ever plan on making any of those trips (or anyone else).. PM me and we'll make arrangements to hook up (burgers are on me   Grin   )

Looking up Xenia in my AFD leads to a reference to Dayton... are you thinking of Greene County-L.A. Jackson Regional Airport (I19)? I see there's also  Dayton-New Lebanon (I44) and Dayton-Whright Bros (MGY). I know Dayton's a pretty big town, but I wonder which is really closest...I44 sounds like about my speed.
And Frasca Field (Urbana, right? Or is there an Urbana in Ohio?) sounds very nice...
Whatever the case, if I'm flying that way, I'll give you a heads-up.
And beware of offering to pick up the tab- flying makes me hungry.

Yeah,  ( I19 ) is the airport real close to the museum.. then Urban (Ohio) ( I74 ) is just NE..

I fly out of Don Scott Field ( KOSU ) on the NW corner of Columbus. It's biggest claim to fame is that back in the 60s.. a TWA 707 mistook it for Port Columbus and landed there on a 5,000 foot runway. They had to strip the interior an give it just enough fuel to hop over to Columbus' main airport, before it could take off safely. It also claims to be the busiest (most take-offs / landings) airport in Ohio ( Ohio State University bases it's flight training there.. plus a few private clubs/schools).

I'll get the tab.. you get the tip Wink

Welll shoot! People talking about coming to Ohio?

Anytime you guys are heading toward Ohio especially the northeastern side let me know.. Wink

For example Burke Lakfront is only an hour or so away from here driving, I could meet you guys at Burke with a mini-van.. Wink

From there we could go somewhere for food and head to the rock hall.... Smiley

Might have to be sometime when I'm not in the middle of college/work thing again... Sad

Anyways, let me know next time you come to ohio.. Wink
