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).
We practiced landing under the control of the tower folk at Salisbury, and then flew north to Sussex County, a small uncontrolled airport, very near to my family’s summer vacation spot.
Airport restaurants are typically good places for lunch, and Jimmy’s Restaurant at the Sussex County Airport was true to form. The service was friendly and the food came out quickly and well prepared, it was one of the best $100 hamburgers I’ve ever eaten. The next time I’m flying or driving near Georgetown, Delaware, I’ll definitely eat at Jimmy’s. I suggest that you do, too.
