PREFLIGHT»
AFTER THE CHECKRIDE
Your first $100 hamburger
Fly to the best meal of your (short) pilot history
WHETHER IT'S A stack of pancakes, a regional specialty such
as ribs, or the ubiquitous hamburger, flying for food makes a
sightseeing trip into something special. Not just everybody at
the airport diner will have taxied up, parked, and climbed out of
an airplane-but you did.
REGIONAL DELICACIES
Some unusual $100 meals
Steamed crabs. In the summertime, pilots along the East
Coast will head to airports near restaurants where they
can pick apart freshly steamed blue crabs. A decline in
the Chesapeake Bay's crab population in 2014 put prices
at more than $75 a dozen for jumbos, so the phrase "$100
hamburger" might have to be upgraded a bit.
BBQ (or barbeque). All right, so BBQ isn't that unusual,
depending on where you live. Stanton's BBQ and Fish
Camp in Bennettsville, South Carolina (www.stantons
barbeque.com), has its own 2,300-foot turf runway. The
Pik-n-Pig (www.pik-n-pig.com) in Carthage, North Carolina,
has a paved 2,538-foot runway (5NC3).
Lobster. Whether you prefer them steamed or in a buttered roll, choose an airport in Maine for a lobster lunch.
Pilots who participated in 2012's Maine Flying Trail were
awarded two lobsters for landing at five of 10 participating
airports.
Steak. It's simple to find steak, but not so simple to find
a restaurant that not only serves grain-fed beef from its
own ranch but also has its own runway (and an inn with 153
guest rooms). Harris Ranch (www.harrisranch.com) is that
place. Located in Coalinga, California, Harris Ranch has a
paved 2,800-foot lighted runway with self-serve 100LL.
CHECKLIST...
How to find your perfect $100 hamburger:
'AOPA AIRPORTS DIRECTORY.' Want to go to an airport but not
sure if there's a restaurant on the field? Under each airport's "Services,
Businesses & FBOs" tab is a listing of nearby restaurants and attractions. (www.aopa.org/airports)
'THE HUNDRED DOLLAR HAMBURGER.' John Purner's book has
14 /
FLIGHTTRAINING.AOPA.ORG
been called "general aviation's Zagat guide." It includes reviews of easily
accessible airport restaurants. Sold at aviation retailers and Amazon.

SOCIAL FLIGHT. The free mobile app and website connects pilots to
an interactive map that includes $100 hamburgers (as well as fly-ins,
museums, pancake breakfasts, and a lot more). (www.socialflight.com)
