Based on the past 46 pages of this thread, somewhere in the Middle East. What are you people even west of? :)

Far enough away that I need to use at least 40 or 50 gallons of gas? I could use a recalibration of my fuel burn and the new software on the G500 will do it with user input.

A-ha! Now I can enter the chat! Y19 should get it done for you, and the courtesy cars are good to go for a breakfast run in town. What time should I expect you all to get in?

This is tempting. North Dakota is one of two states I have still not stepped foot into.

Should we try the place at Jackson, MI? I can't find a menu though.

What's the other? Usually we are the "save the best for last" state. (That was our backup slogan, but lost out to simply "legendary," as in a story that everybody tells but nobody believes is real.)

North Dakota, eh...

Let me just consult my handy dandy VFR Sectional Supplement to see if that's doable...
(I'd happily do a breakfast/lunch deal further west in SD/ND/NE in the near future -- preferably before the deep freeze sets in)

I thought the place at Jackson MI (JXN) was called the Apron? That place is amazing for breakfast (i heard their lunches are good too).

The twin is running now again officially. I'd like to actually come at some point soon.

Turbulence town was the truth today! Winds out of the east departing Pittsburgh, I got what I suspect was insane ridge lift - mid-weights climbing 2000+ fpm at 200IAS. I couldn't slow down and I didn't want to climb steeper. Then again, we were shaken half to death with the turbulence, which is why I was pitching up to try and slow the plane down so the bumps hit softer. Also, you need a cut-out around Chicago that notes "Why is it always bumpy in Chicago"

The Apron was bought and renamed.

I like how you just ceded the thumb of Michigan to Canada. Probably for the best.

What, a pilot? Watch a few YouTube videos & do that brake job yourself. My Rock Auto order comes today, rear brakes, Honda Civic. Yes it may take me a little longer than the shop, but I like to think I use more TLC doing so.

I've done brakes (rotors and pads) w/ an A&P on a couple different aircraft. I'd do these brakes myself if I were equipped. It's a bit different of a job on a 2+ ton SUV than a light single or twin.

Watch out for that black hole between dragon land and turbo country
 
Any pireps on KIGQ, Lansing IL? Lynnie Ques? Saw on FF that the FBO is closed.
 
Easy flight for me. I could do I74!

@455 Bravo Uniform - No sure on IGQ. Despite its proximity to me, I haven't landed there in almost 6 years. That's almost too close of a breakfast location cuz I only get about 10 mins of flight time :) (EDIT: that said, if we really wanna go somewhere close I'm happy to do it).

I was there over the summer, Lynnie Ques is in a separate building next to the FBO and they keep different hours. Decent BBQ, not the best I've ever had but it's a solid on-airport restaurant. KJVL is probably the best breakfast place in the region. I'm probably out for most breakfast meetups just due to timing though. Been thinking about Pilot Pete's a lot lately....
 
I recently dropped off a dog for pilots n paws at IGQ. The restaurant was open but didn’t have time to go

Are you back??
 
Short notice but I'm looking for something to do with my 7yo tomorrow and it looks like it's going to be a nice day.(Oct 10) Anyone want to meet up for lunch or maybe dinner? RPJ, IGQ, 06C? Somewhere else in IL or nearby I haven't thought of?
