Hi,

Thanks for getting back .Please my wife and I are not frauds okay .

I am a Christian.It is a sin to cheat people off their hard earned

money.I have never cheated anyone before and will never do that.We can

not kill our consciences by ripping anyone off.It

is a crime against the law and we could get locked up.All we want is a

good home for the puppy.My wife and I can not be on the run for

$250.00 .Please you will get the puppy safe and sound okay . YOU HAVE MY

WORDS .I am a parent and I know how hard things are hard...paying the

bills and taking care of the kids.Please we can not force you to take

him okay.But all we ask you is to trust us.You sounded really nice and

we know your family will take care of the puppy.Please if you still

doubt us,you can send half the payment upfront and the rest upon

arrival.Not all addresses will show up exact location when entered

into search engines.

If your heart tells you to get the puppy then the choice is yours

but note that am very serious and am a Christian for that matter.

Stay blessed

The FAA uses '45OH' for Boober Airport, New Richmond, Ohio

did my first takeoff there! Left Traffic patern

Reply to @jerryp: Looks like it's close to Progressive Field as well. I might fly in for a baseball game this summer.

41N - Privately owned; public use. 30 x 3000 ft asphalt runway; no fuel or svcs. 4th Annual Musical Fly-In, June 28, 2009! Don't miss it. Lots of planes, lots of flying activity, lots of great people, some food and of course - music. A couple of stages, various entertainers. Want to perform? Bring your instrument(s) or group! Contact in advance if you want an official time on the schedule.

I would like to leave some comments on Flyboys restaurant at Mansfield Lahm (KMFD). I have always stopped in to KMFD on my travels to take a break, and I really enjoy the airport there. The Flyboys restaurant is without a doubt my favorite place to stop and eat. Heck I made a special trip one night and got weathered in. The employees in this place work really hard, and provide a great meal and great service. It is a family owned place and the owners and their children also help out. They are a riot and I always leave them a small tip as well. They are extremely friendly and whenever we walk in always ask "Where did you fly in from". It's kind of like the "Cheers" of flying. Anyway, I am sure, like other businesses, this place is also feeling the effects of our crappy economy, so I am asking all of you to help these guys out and fly in and have a great meal and conversation. I was there a week ago and heard that Flyboys is for sale. The owner is a military member from across the street at the guard base and his new position requires him to travel quite frequently, and is due to be deployed soon. It's very difficult to run a business from a distance, and I am sure even more difficult to run while still serving in the military. So, if anyone is interested in an already established business with the benefits of being on an airport, contact the manager Vickie or Kay at Flyboys and they can put you in contact with the owner. Thanks for your time. Be safe.

FAA uses OH79 for Vermilion Township Heliport.

KLUK is where I go to have fun and enjoy myself today. I'm on the Board of the Cincinnati Aviation Heritage Society here and we have a micro museum on the South end of Lunken terminal. It is the repository of the Lunken Family Aviation Collection. Donations are welcome Google us at cahslunken for more information. We need someone to buy the computer program Past Perfect Museum Software for us.

You can join us too. Old timers meet on third Fridays at 10:00 am in the museum and Regular Members meeting will be held on the First Monday of each month at 7PM in the museum beginning March 2008. Come on and join us.

KCMH was where I finished my career with USAIRWAYS in 1999.

Offered by Southern Skyways:

http://blogs.usatoday.com/sky/2008/01/dayton-rockford.html

There was a threat that this airport might close, but they reached a compromise with the cities of Cincinnati and Blue Ash, and will build a park, an aviation museum, and some other community facilities near the field:

http://www.aopa.org/advocacy/articles/2007/071115oh.html

We took the family on a flight to eat at Flyboys Cafe. This is a great find. We arrived about 5:30 p.m., and the staff was eager to serve us. The place is very clean, and the staff is very friendly. Our server, Kay, provided exceptional service to us. The food was great. Their as they say, "soon to be famous" Flyboy Burger is the best meal I have had in a long time. By the way, you have to try their dessert called Bananas Foster. It is tops. Great place, and we all highly recommend it to all!

We flew in there for breakfast on Saturday, the 17th of November. We got the pleasure to see a US Navy F-18 take off. It came into the guard base the night before. Also, the staff at Flyboys was ready for the Ohio State V.S. Michigan game. These guys really good breakfasts. Well worth the trip.

We flew in for Flyboys Oktoberfest last Saturday (October 13th). It was great. They had their local bratwurst, german potato salad, pickled beets, and to top it off, they had Black Forrest cake. It was one great meal, and along with that, they had some great beers, that you normally wouldnt' find in the chain restaurants. They were quite busy, as it was guard drill weekend, but the staff kept up with the crowd. I must add, I had a couple of conversations with some of the Air National guard men and women, and let me tell you, it makes us sleep better at night to know how proud these men and women are of their unit, and their country. So, stop in, and show your apprciation to the men and women in uniform, and buy them a beer, and say thanks. We did and will do it again!

I was agree! I was at Mansfield for a business meeting, and stopped in waiting for my plane. THe bratwurst they have is absolutely the best I have ever had. They also have a good selection of seasonal beers, which the Spiced Wheat was my favorite. I also got to see two C-130's perform an airdrop mission on the airport. I must agree with another post and say it's "pretty cool".

It opened on 3 August 2007. They have a nice clean place, with great views of the airport. They also have good food. They have what they call a Flyboy Burger, it's great. They also have local made bratwurst, home backed buns, and fresh cut fries. They just received their liquor license about a week ago also. This place is if I may say "pretty cool", as there is all types of aviation action from military (C-130 and KC-135), corporate jets in and out, lots of general aviation, and I even saw a couple of cargo jet's in there (USA Jet, DC-9).

There's a huge gathering of P-51s and other vintage warbirds coming up here next month:

Fly Boys Cafe will officially open on August 3, 2007 at 10 am

I was just at the terminal yesterday and there was a handwritten sign on the door saying that they hoped to be open by July 30th.

The Flying Turtle closed, alas. There were plans to open a new restaurant in the same spot (named "Flyboys Care") but I don't know if it has opened yet. End of July was what I'd heard, so it might be open now.

I flew into Mansfield in January or February specifically to have lunch and the restaurant had closed its doors the day before! I had a Twix from the FBO vending machine.

Great, great, great airport. Just like Meigs, except it's open. Walking distance to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Brown's Stadium (check TFRs) and the Science Museum. Hornblowers restaurant is closed (as of 7/21/07). $5.00 ramp fee

I first went up in a single engine 172 here back in 7th grade for career day, flown by none other than Ohio aviation legend Norm Crabtree. I learned to fly many years later at the same airport. OSU (Don Scott to us locals,) has everything you need in an airport: lots of ground and maintenance facilities, a well operated tower, and runways that point in almost any direction you want. There used to be a restaurant on the field, but that has changed hands enough times since I flew out of there that I don't know if it's still around. Lots of flying clubs and private owners are still based here along with some impressive corporate traffic including the WCMH4 helicopter, Wendy's International, Cardinal Health, etc. OSU can be a busy airport at times with all the student traffic, corporate traffic, locals and transients, but it a great learning environment and a great place to call home.

Not sure if it is still being hosted, but local legend Martha Lunken used to organize an annual Wings Weekend event at Butler County. I would fly in annually from OSU (who now hosts their own similar event, but I enjoyed the simple flight down to build up cross country time.) Was a fantastic event. Instructors donated their time to help keep pilots safe as part of the FAA's Wings program, which counted as a biannual review. All you paid for was your flight time (they even paired you up with a plane if you drove in.)

Trained here a *lot* (home airport was KOSU), solo'ed here, took my practical here. Countless touch and goes. This is *the* place to buy AVgas in central Ohio...cheapest bar none. (Usually a quarter or more less per gallon than any of the airports closer to Columbus.)

Say hi to Roscoe, the friendly airport dog, if he's still out there...

Flew in one to buy a flight bag from the FBO on-field, and was unpleasantly surprised at the brusqueness of the local pilots. It is a small, lumpy-bumpy strip with no visibility end to end (due to the grade) and very limited taxi space. The locals there, at least the one time I was flew in, seemed to barely tolerate visiting traffic. Granted its a private airport, but sheesh....lighten up, guys.

One of my favorite $100 hamburger trips. Good restaurant (popular with locals,) and home to an ANG base. You can usually see some big KC-130s and occasionally something a bit faster out on the tarmac.

Eagle's Nest restaurant is a very short walk (hundred yards or less.) Good food, good service.

Great food, service and PIES at this local hotspot in Urbana. Get there early for a seat on weekends.

Can't say the Italian dish I had there was great, but I'd go back to try something else another time.

Very small but friendly grill on site. This airport is a US Customs Port of Entry from Canada. I believe there might be a shuttle available to Cedar Point, the best amusement park in the country.

Decent ribs and BQ chicken on field.

Fun to watch banner towing during OSU football (if you aren't watching the game, that is.)

Free hotdogs.
