Alex's Flying Trips

May 28, 2007 - Napa - Willows (WLW) - Napa
With Tim as Co-Pilot, Navigator, Photographer


Willows Airport is another popular fly-in destination for Nor Cal pilots mainly because of Nancy's Restaurant. It's right next to the airport and open 24 hours. Food and service are good. And the prices reasonable. It also has clean restrooms (-important after a long cross country).

If you want to do some shopping, there's a Super K right across the airport. Self serve fuel is always alot cheaper than in my home base. It's also easy to navigate -- just follow I-5 North and you won't miss it. The runways and taxiways are in good condition.

I was not able to contact Rancho Radio FSS frequencies listed in AOPA directory from the ground and aloft. There's a phone booth outside Nancy's that can be used to close flight plans and get briefings.
