Any Good $100 Hamburger places near Sullivan County (MSV)?
Bob Chilcoat
we'd go up to Sullivan County airport, and have lunch, but I understand from
the FBO there that the restaurant on the field has gone under. Anyone know
if there's anything else up that way? There's supposed to be coffee shop at
Orange County (MGJ). Still open? What about Stewart? I suppose we could
go over to Sky Acres. Dion, is the Wind Sock still open? Thanks.

on the taxiway at the north end of the runway, and walk over. I think
they're still selling $2.00 gas.

Been to that place in Danbury many, many times . . . it's got the coolest menu
and decor--lots of rock'n'roll memorabilia on the walls, and all the menu items
named for rock icons and legends. Food is ok (not great, but not bad).
Columbia Cnty is really good . . . restaurant overlooks golf course and
airport. MGJ (Orange County) has no open restaurant last time I was there (6
weeks ago).

We ended up at the Windsock Cafe at Sky Acres (44N) on Sunday. Arrived
around 1:00. Tough to find a parking space. Ended up taxiing around some
planes on the grass and nosing up to the taxiway. The joint was jumping.
Everyone on the East coast seemed to have the same idea as us. Waited 20
min for a table. Put our order in, and then waited an hour and 20 min for
or food to arrive (I kid you not.)! After 50 minutes we asked what the hold
up was. "It gets really busy on Sunday," was the reply, "We're backed up
about an hour in the kitchen." She seemed to think it was our fault for
coming on Sunday. The food finally arrived after another 50 minutes! It
was good, but definitely not worth the wait. I can't really recommend the
restaurant. They don't seem to understand about kitchen organization. Too
bad. It's only open on weekends, so you really can't come at a slower time.
We rushed out of there and headed straight back to SMQ to get the plane back
when it was due. We were only an hour late. Fortunately, no one was
planning to use it later. 14-knot gusty crosswind when we landed. Since I
haven't flown for nearly two months, it was a challenge, to say the least.
Crew and airplane survived, though. :-) It was good to get into the air
again. The leaves were spectacular, at least due north of SMQ to Sullivan
County.

Thanks.

Sorry to respond to this a week late, but since you invoked me
specifically I feel obligated. Stewart has a cafe, but I
understand it's nothing special. The Windsock is open on weekends
year around. As I write this it's actually Saturday, the 20th.
I'm sitting in the terminal at Albany waiting to fly to Las Vegas
for a conference. Going out into the desert with Bill Phillips
tomorrow to play with toys (gyro, etc.) then driving to Rachel
for burgers at the Lil' Ali'Inn.

Went there yesterday. The $2 gas is gone, but the restaurant's still there. It
was a fine day for flying, but a bit chilly for sitting on the deck judging the
landings. Wasn't hungry, so I couldn't comment on the actual burger part
of the $100 burgers, but it does look like a fine target for a burger
mission.

And, the longer you stay aloft, the less per hour it is. So, the longer you
fly, the more "free" the "gas" is. :)

Some free gas is freer than other free gas? All ''frees" are not
created equal?
Reminds me of reading that some infinities are larger than other
infinities.
Boggles the mind!

Ahh yes..."countably infinite", etc.
'tis mindboggling. Now you know why it takes a REAL pilot to fly a glider.

And if you divide one of the larger infinities by one of the smaller
infinities, you may get a number (convergence) or another infinity
(divergence).
Pretty cool, eh!

l'Hôpital magic! Agreed, way cool. Interestingly, l'Hôpital was pals
with another great mathematician of the day, Johann Bernoulli. Johann
claimed after l'Hôpital's death that he was actually responsible for
developing what is now referred to as l'Hôpital's rules. Although his
claim was probably true, l'Hôpital was nevertheless a great
mathematician in his own right. In 1700, four years before
l'Hôpital's death, Johann fathered Daniel Bernoulli. Daniel would
become a mathematician as well and achieve notoriety for his
'Hydrodynamica' in 1738 in which he publish the equation for
nonviscous incompressible flow that now bears his name, the so-called
Bernoulli equation. So, you see, even this little sub-thread is
aviation related. :)
