Rupert Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Long ago when I was still current, my pal and i would fly as often as we could afford the fuel in his Beech Bonanza. We called them $50 Hamburger flights. The current issue of Flying featured what they called a $500 Candy Bar Hop. It goes from Hayward Executive (KHWD) to Nut Tree (VCB) in California. Since we're simming we can always "sneak" into controlled airspace. So since Travis AFB (SUU) is very near their route I decided I fly over it as well. PS: Since this article was written months ago, with the Ukraine invasion, I'm no sure anyone can afford to fly anywhere because of the LL fuel shortages!! :eek::eek: (As I usually do, I've provided some information with the screenies. Just click on each one to make it larger and read my comments.) More shots on the Reply. ;) Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

mrzippy Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Not sure if the Nut Tree airport is still in business. Nut Tree Restaurant and Coffee Tree both shut down many moons ago, Kemosabe!

Half of my fleet are left with empty tanks scattered all over the planet! HUH!!! YES I ENJOYED EVERY ONE OF THEM!! And as I've said before just send me a current credit card and I'll be happy to start ferrying them home.

Rupert Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Not sure if the Nut Tree airport is still in business. Nut Tree Restaurant and Coffee Tree both shut down many moons ago, Kemosabe! Well the article I used to get the idea for the flight I posted is this months issue. Plus I just went on the AOPA flight planning site and it not only says they're operating, it also lists the price of their fuel, active runways, etc., metars, etc. So I can only assume it's still fully operational.
