Becca Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 Anyone have an suggestions for a day trip of some sort for Sunday - looking for a place about 2 hrs away? Trying to put hours on the engine and most of my hundred dollar hamburger destinations are closer. Thinking a place with at least 1-2 hrs worth of things to do on the ground (e.g. museum, static displays, something to see, a yummy on-field restaurant/or near-field with a courtesy car). Ideas?

omega708 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 KLVJ -> KNEW (New Orleans Lakefront) is 274 NM. The airport is about 3-4 minutes from the French Quarter.... Plenty to do in New Orleans no matter when you go. -JLG Quote
omega708 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 Or if you're just looking for a good meal, http://www.joeallens.com/ in Abilene has a mean ribeye. You gotta love a place where you order your steak by how thick you want it. 3/4" - 2"... Quote
Parker_Woodruff Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 Cooper's BBQ at AQO of course. The gas isn't cheap, but you could fly to KERV and take the crew car to Mamacita's for some good Mexican food. Quote

Mcstealth Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 PARKER! Mamacitas is just average Tex/Mex. You have been in Florida too long! No offense to Florida or it's inhabitants! Quote
DonMuncy Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 Come to KRBD and I'll buy you lunch. You might have to come by way of KTYR to get 300 nm. Or file IFR and they will run you by way Cedar Creek or Glen Rose and that might eat up the extra time. Quote
jetdriven Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 There u go. Lnc btw fuel is 4.65 Quote
DonMuncy Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 I suppose I could extend my offer to LNC, but remember the restaurant at RBD is nicer, and it is a few miles further for both of us . Quote
DonMuncy Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 Did you decide to come to the Dallas area. Make sure you let me know. Quote
