BAC Fly-In Dinner at 3B0
Location: 3B0, Southbridge MA. Free.
Come enjoy a pleasant dinner right on the flight line at Southbridge MA (3B0) Dutch treat.
Jim's Fly-In Diner is a classic "rail car" diner with classic diner food.
Their deck overlooks the runway and the sunset. Watch the air traffic while you eat and chat (airplanes, swallows, hummingbirds).
This is a favorite of area pilots. Why not Mouse Drivers? (Sorry, won't be able to work this as a freebee. But prices are diner prices.)
Arrive, order and eat. This is not a banquet. Hangout with a full satisfied belly.

Field closes at sunset, so plan on arriving @ 1700 and out by 2000. Try to give me a call or PM me if you are coming to stake out tables.

Sorry, no pix; we were talkin' and eatin'.
Only Peter D'Onofrio (KOXC), myself (KBAF), and a guest present. (Ellen got her first inkling that all BAC people are as whacked as I am! She still had a good time.)
But it was a glorious evening with a nice meal in a fun location. Southbridge is centrally located for all of Southern New England. (See that, Cloyd? I am a southerner. We even talk funny according those Vermonters and Maine-iacs. 8))
I intend to pull this off each month through, oh, September. But anyone can drop in for breakfast or any other Thursday or Friday evening (only two evenings they are open; and only until 8PM). If you are planning on it, give me a call and I'll see if I can make it.
Come for the flight; come for the food; come for the hummingbirds! Oh, but the tornado harvest is over...all the aluminum has been plucked from the trees and piled on the ramp. In fact, coming from the west, start at BAF and follow the tornado track east. When it ends...you are over Southbridge!
 
Hey! I'm not royalty - no apostrophe... I guess I'll have to behave better next time.

Let's do it again - and treat that lady well.
 
I found that a quick search of the mason dixon line revealed that it is located much farther north than I thought it was. Which is a good thing, it leaves more room for us southerns... Most anyone who grew up getting the majority of their geography from Bugs Bunny will probably be just as suprised as I was to find where the line runs, and that it has a section that runs north and south.

HOWEVER, as the line extends west through the mountians, I found that, of the several airports along the mason dixon line, Garrett Co (2g4) has the highest elevation (2933). SO, does this mean that if we southerners are above 2933 whilest flying that we are in enemy territory (north of the mason dixon line)? Perhaps that explains a guy I know who rarely ever goes about 1500.
