Hi Bob, I've flown a helo into Perry Cabin but it was just before 9/11. It's a beautiful spot. There are no heliport markings afaik. Generally you park behind the building between the parking lot and the road in the grass. There's a flagpole back there which gives a good wind indication...

It's a little close to Lancaster but Butter Valley (7N8) is a great little spot in the middle of a golf course with a restaurant on the field.

I've been in there a few times with no problem. Of course it was either in a Bell 47 or a Bell Jet Ranger. A buddy of mine instructs in the area and would always take his students there in the 47.

Relax. Personally if I were in your shoes, I'd commit to not flying today. (I've wasted more time with the family on hold as I watched bad weather hoping it would clear sufficiently.) I haven't studied your weather situation but I don't think I would fly SAF to ADS today in my aircraft...

The adapters work fine. I've used them on Bose headsets with no discernable loss of effectiveness. (Much cheaper than buying add'l bose x headsets.)

That is very cool. Thanks, Chuck.

a couple less well known places... 42b Goodspeed, in Connecticut on the Connecticut River, restaurant adjacent 7N8 Butter Valley eastern PA, in a golf course, restaurant N07 Lincoln Park, NJ restaurant always fun to explore new places.

Technically you are cleared to cross 12 however either the ATIS is out of date or the controller made a mistake. Personally, I would confirm permission to cross 12 before I did so.

I have to admit that I've gotten sucked into the craze. Here are a couple other links to online games: http://www.su-doku.net/ http://www.vnunet.com/spotlight/sudoku http://www.dkmsoftware.com/sudoku/

Caldwell (KCDW) is next closest to the Meadowlands after Teterboro. Towered, lots of small plane activity but no big corporate stuff to get in your way.

I used to be based up there and would seldom get a direct routing. Although I've often gotten cleared to downstream waypoints while enroute (as long as you're /G). My guess is you'll get airways. By the way, it's 11,000 feet not fl110. It's only called fl110 if you flying without a local...

an old Stevev Wright line sure to get you in trouble nowadays: Canadian customs inspector: "Do you have any firearms?" Steven: "...(sniff) ...Whadda ya need?"

a few from an old movie (Atomic Cafe I think. The mother was the one coming out with them.): every path has its puddle nothing dries faster than a tear a girl who gets wrapped up in herself makes a mighty small package.

What people seem to like to see the most from the air is ...stuff on the ground. So as long as turbulence isn't bad, I'd suggest low level sightseeing. Out of BWI to the eastern shore of the chesapeake, north to the susquehana then up the susquehana to Lancaster for lunch and an opportunity to...

Re: Maybe not so challenging in the conventional way, but... I flew the gps approach into Sun Valley last winter. It's a similar profile. It descends from 8600 to 7100. (Airport is at 5300.) What made it somewhat interesting was that Approach keep me at 10,500 until about ten miles from...
