Breakfast in Oklahoma - all you can eat! Nov 16th - KOUN - about noon

[trumpet nelson]

Restaurant is on the airport and close to your parking spot. Have the all-you-can-eat breakfast, or enjoy the lunch menu while we trade Mouse stories and solve the world's problems. Official BAC meeting time is 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. A great place to meet, just south of Oklahoma City. Trumpet will grab a table so .... post your plans. Weather dependent, of course.

Yeah, it is not good there today, but this weekend looks better... Of course, the current winds today are nothing for me, Steve and JP after our performance at BACFEST - New Bedford, MA! LOL!!!!!!!

Not going to make it after all.......Sad!

 

[trumpet nelson]

Weather is looking good for the trip, so I will plan to arrive by 11:30 am. Ozzie's pancakes are calling! Be there!

But ..... If no one posts here ... or calls me ... or there no arrivals by noon, don't expect me to hang around much past noon. I am planning a trip to Grove, OK in the afternoon.

Be safe - - fair winds.

Great flights on FlightAware Nelson! I wish I was still in the Missouri/OK area. I will be there during Thanksgiving, hopefully with the Bonanza, weather permitting. Dinner at my son's place near Springfield, MO... I thought about telling my younger son to meet you at Ozzie's. He's in OKC, an OU graduate.

 

[trumpet nelson]

Thanks.

I did an over night in Grove, OK. Great BBQ place there .....

 

[SkyPilot]

I saw that you overnighted in Grove, OK... Grove was an airport that I flew over on my way to Norman to visit my son. It's kind of the start of Grand Lake. I am one of those pilots that as I plan my cross country flight I specifically note airports along my route, just in case I need it...

Trip Report - - - -

The service and food at Ozzie's was stellar. One of these days you all just gotta get there with me! All smiles on the ramp after the all-you-can-eat breakfast (photo 1).

While on the ramp, I noticed the stance of my Sundowner (photo 2) was quite a step up from the Cherokee 6 (I had looked at a few before getting my baby beech). The word "stately" comes to mind. Gotta talk to Jay sometime about his decision to get his mouse. I think I made the right choice ....

Arrived at Grove, OK about 2:40. The Citation corporate pilots had been waiting in the (very nice) airport lounge all afternoon for the owner to show, and then after I headed to the lake for my meeting, they got a call and were told it would be the next morning. We ended up at the same hotel and the desk lady said they were a little grumpy. Ahhh .... the life of a corporate pilot. They were looking wishfully at my Sundowner ..... Nice sunset photo when I headed back to the airport to put on the cover.

Be safe,
Nelson
