Subject: RE: RV-List: 4000nm Trip David, I'm based at Davenport (KDVN), but as a fuel stop, I would recommend Clinton Iowa (KCWI). They typically have the cheapest self-serve fuel in the local area - I often fly the 18 NM to fuel up there (makes for a good excuse to fly!). The airport manager is the vice president of our local EAA chapter, so definitely "homebuilt friendly"! If you've got time, I highly recommend the US Air Force museum in Dayton Ohio (http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/). Free parking and free admission, and one of the best museums I've ever seen. I actually preferred it over the Udvar-Hazy in Washington - but as an airplane geek, you really should see both! Have a great trip! Paul A. Fisher RV-7A N18PF -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of RV7ASask Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2013 10:45 PM Subject: RV-List: 4000nm Trip Fellow RVers, My wife and I are planning a 4000nm trip in the RV7A leaving mid June. We live in Saskatchewan and will be heading east across Canada then south to NYC and Washington, DC. The tentative route will take us to Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Timmins, Quebec City, Charlottetown, Bangor, Brunswick, Danbury, Gettysburg, Leesburg, Dayton, Dubuque, Bemidji, Winnipeg and home. My wife is looking forward to the LL Bean flagship store in Freeport, Maine and the Jinny Beyer Quilt Studio in Virginia. Im looking forward to the VFR corridor down the Hudson River past Manhattan then to Gettysburg. We are both looking forward to PEI, Gettysburg history and Washington. My questions: What is the best airport to stop at in the Gettysburg area? Are there any secrets to flying the VFR corridor by NYC that are not on the NYC Terminal chart? Any secrets in and around Leesburg other than what is in the on-line DC Special Flight Rules Area course? What is the best place to stop in the Dayton area? How about smaller airport in the Midwest: Dubuque, Madison, Rockford, Davenport areas? Any other suggestions about taking a long trip or along the route are welcome.
