There’s no shortage of interesting places to fly in a general aviation airplane, and some of those places are close to home. In this video, two friends dodge some rain showers to find a short strip of pavement next to a river that unlocks a wonderful $100 hamburger location. Little adventures like this are what flying is all about.
