We have all had the experience of wanting to tell our customers were to get off, but few of us ever get the chance to vent our frustrations to anyone other than a coworker or family member. Steven Slater, a former airline flight attendant stood up for all Americans who have had it with unreasonable customers.

Find Great Maryland Crab Soup in York, Pennsylvania

Posted on January 27, 2006 by Dave

I returned to Orville’s Restaurant at York Airport for more of its great Maryland crab soup. The restaurant respects the Old Line State’s most famous export by calling it red crab soup. However named, it is the best crab soup that I can recall ever having.

My daughter and I flew off to Sussex County Airport (Georgetown, Delaware) for breakfast, this morning. We expected the usual fair of toast and eggs, but were pleasantly surprised to find that there’s a hidden special on the menu.

Jimmy’s Resaurant, Worth the Trip to Sussex County Airport

Posted on February 8, 2005 by Dave

Yesterday, I was flying with another pilot, Dan Booher. Dan and I are each working to increase our experience and pilot time, so we took turns being a safety pilot (a look out for other aircraft) while the other flew the aircraft using only instruments. We flew from Tipton Airport at Fort Meade, Maryland to Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional Airport, and then we went on to Sussex County Airport in Georgetown, Delaware. We had planned on flying directly to Ocean City Municipal Airport; however, a 300′ ceiling was too low for a lunch flight (too bad, crab cakes at the beach seemed such a good idea after a weekend spent skiing).
