    Food/fuel stop between Orlando and Norfolk VA?

    Well I'll third the KGMU Runway Cafe recommendation. Of course it's my home field, but it might also keep you dry coming a bit west this weekend. I do wish fuel were cheaper here though.

    More (or mandatory) parachutes will save lives....too many fatalities

    I'm surprised there are so many folks against chutes in here. If a 5-seater Cirrus were as affordable as a comparable twin, I'd be all over it, primarily because of the safety factor. You can't control everything up there, and I'm just not comfortable flying my wife and kids with only one...

    Well in their defense they were planning to arrive Friday afternoon before the real bad stuff started. At first glance I agree it doesn't seem like the right weekend to arrive here, but as mentioned above the wx wasn't all that bad at the time.

    GA - Legal to Carry...

    And these days even if you aren't. All the authorities have to do is say they suspect you of carrying drugs or some kind of contraband and they can seize your cash. It's happening more and more.

    Liberty University in Virginia

    I've been instructed in the past by the current chief flight instructor up there, not at liberty but elsewhere before he moved there. Top-notch guy and a great instructor.
