Where: 229 Airport Road
More info: http://www.ci.longmont.co.us/airport/index.htm
Most weekends, the air in Longmont is filled with the
distant (or sometimes not so distant) buzz of private airplanes emanating from
the Vance Brand Municipal Airport. While piloting is not a hobby we see ourselves
taking up anytime in this lifetime, we strongly suggest heading out to the
airport on the weekend. The views are spectacular, naturally, with the twin
peaks of Longs Peak and Mt. Meeker looming in the distance, almost completely
unobstructed.
The
airport is also home to one of our favorite Longmont hidden gems, the Flight
Deck Grill (find their Facebook page here). Open Wednesday through Sunday
in the spring and summer, this homespun operation offers excellent (and cheap)
breakfast and lunch items, including pancakes, breakfast sandwiches and hot
dogs. They've got a very nice patio right next to the runway, where you can
watch planes taking off and landing -- and get an occasionally dizzying glimpse
of scores of skydivers plummeting towards the earth. Bike out in the morning (they
open bright and early at 7:30am) and enjoy a cup of coffee and some delicious
crumb cake while gazing into the wild blue yonder.
I have found that this site is very informative, interesting and very well written. keep up the nice high quality writing Flowers Arvada Colorado
