Niagara Falls Aerospace Museum, Niagara Falls, NY

"Wanted to write about my local airport at Niagara Falls. Firstly, if you never done it you can easily fly over Niagara Falls. Airplanes need to be above 3500 restricted area below make right hand traffic and monitor the pilot to pilot frequency on 122.05. Look up the procedure before going. Secondly, there is an Aerospace museum right next to the FBO that you can walk to for a fun day trip. FBO was remodel a few years back and has a pilot lounge and offers free coffee and popcorn. Thirdly, If you want a great local place to eat right across the street is the Como restaurant great for breakfast lunch or dinner. If you can drive the Jetport and Salisa's are other great options. Finally, if you are looking to spend a few days there's plenty of hotels within walking distance or that will have shuttles to the airport. Many also have shuttles down to the Falls. Also theres several rental car companies that do off at the FBO. Make sure to see the Falls and the gorge. If you bring your passport you can go to Niagara Falls Canada. Make sure to eat at the Jetport an aviation themed restaurant about a mile from the airport." - Submitted by Jeremy.
