It is a great airport. It is on the list as N14. The swimming pool is shaped like an airplane.

I got my PPC at McGuire aero club in 1975 and did most of my landing practice at what then was Burlington County airport. Flying W was closed back then I think. Glad it's back operating.
 
7B3 - NH - Airfield Cafe
KSFM - ME - Airport Diner
 
Best restaurant ever....

The Chowder Pot
Best Prime rib ever, bar none. I dare ya....

About 1/2 mile from KHFD. Can walk if needed.
 
yeah, good stuff. I might eventually hit some on this list as well, so thanks!
 
KHKY - Crosswind Cafe.

Anybody know if MTV's restaurant is operating. I've not popped in their in a while since HKY dropped their fuel prices.
 
This should be an App that covers the whole country. Or a Foreflight layer....whatever that is.

Ok, I edited it into a format that foreflight should be able to ingest; see the first post.

For a quick and dirty first cut, I started with this file of weather stations and swizzled it through awk and join. It's a work in progress, I'll add more later.

That's pretty cool. I did not realize you could import user waypoints into foreflight.
 
Khgr has a new restaurant on the field. It's called runways. On the lower floor of the FBO (ryder jet) and overlooks the runways. You can see all the planes/helicopters come in.
 
Georgetown Delaware, nice long runway for those of you who don't like landing short.( or can't) Also has decent resturant which is clean and decent rest rooms. Built by the govmint during ww2 for sub patrol. Further north, there's great valley n.y. South of buffalo, three thousand feet of grass well kept. Resturant across the street. King air lands there.

OP updated with nationwide data.

@happypilot876, any way y'all can expose hotels and restaurants from the business directory on the map?

Tell me more about that Latin place???

Don’t forget 26N -Airport Diner. (Apparently creative person missed work on naming day)
Delish beach breakfast attached to FBO.

The runway is closed for paving at MTV right now, but I went there before the paving began a couple months ago. The food and service were the best I have ever seen since I started going there years ago. The parking ramp was full, but the service was really fast and food was good..biggest burger I’ve seen in a while.

New ownership... things have definitely improved there... Foreflight already lists restaurants on the info page...right?

It does, but there's no way to show airports with restaurants on the map.

Escala's Latin Bistro at Greenwood Lake Airport closed since my post. Sorry. It served a combination of standard fare (pancakes, burgers, etc.) and Cuban/Spanish themed items (Cuban pork sandwich). Was pretty good, but that location, like many, has struggled to get enough traffic to stay in business.

Oh didn’t realize this was a necro post!!
 
Updated for 2021 with some infrastructure/runtime/scalability improvements.
 
Sorry to be dense, did you update the file in the first post?
The post says last edited 2019.
Great idea, thanks.
 
I did, but uploading a new file apparently doesn't change the timestamp.

edit: I edited the OP to change the timestamp.
 
Oh, I do not like this. Warning to others, if you do this, you'll have 10,000+ user waypoints on your map, unless you suppress all user waypoints, removing the benefit of user waypoints.

Anybody know how to do a mass delete of waypoints?

duh, they put it on the bottom of the screen when all the other controls are on top. Sheesh. Thanks
