Noticed that Lane Wallace mentioned C-170 member Dennis Roberts in her regular article on page 88 of the March, 2009 issue.

Dennis has an excellent restaurant here in Grass Valley, Villa Venezia. It's a favorite of my wife and I. If you're in Grass Valley you should check it out ![Exclamation :!:](./images/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif)

Re: Flying Magazine
My sources tell me that it's a 3.6 mile walk to Villa Venezia from the Nevada County Airport. That's quite a hike! A mile or so is about as far as I'll hike my 80-lbs overweight arse for lunch.blueldr wrote:Members please be advised, there ain't nothin' except "walking" within "walking" distance of the Loma Rica, (Grass Valley) CA, airport.

Re: Flying Magazine
When Lane was doing the required things to qualify to get a flight in the Lockheed U-2, the Beal AFB guys took her to Dennis's restaurant & she found out he was a C-170 owner & mentioned it in her regular article which was in the same issue as the longer article about her getting to fly in the U-2.. Your tax dollars , & hers, at work. Must be a rare situation for a civilian to get a ride in one of those.

Re: Flying Magazine
The Villa Venezia restaurant is not within walking distance. Sometimes the folks at the Airport Office might give you a ride into town ... maybe even loan you a personal car. but otherwise you'd have to take a taxi. There is one restaurant within walking distance, the Warehouse Deli, it's maybe a 1/4 - 1/2 mile walk from the airport office.
