Driggs Idaho
OK, here is an awesome place to fly for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is called the Warbird's Cafe at Driggs airport.
This is the area where Harrison Ford lives and keeps his birds.

We ate breakfast there and the food was great. They also have a four plane museum in the attached hanger.
This is what you see as you are taxiing in.
The Grand Teton in the background.
Nose art on the walls.
The flight there is one of the most scenic around.

Warbird Cafe
Scott,
I had heard about this place on AirNav.com and it is good to finally see the place via RV photos. I have been planning a cross-country trip to Van's Homecoming in my RV-9A. Driggs is one of the waypoints I have planned since the beginning. Last year, I had the time and the money, but homecoming was cancelled due to runway repaving at Aurora State Airport. This year (2006), I had neither the time or the money to make the trip. I guess I will have to plan for 2007 and make it all happen.
Thanks for sharing those photos.

I ferried a C182 from Couer d'Alene Id to Ogden Ut the Saturday before Mothers Day earlier this year. We decided to stop at Driggs for lunch. The restaurant was not yet opened for the season as Mothers Day starts their season. The FBO happily loaned us the airport car allowing us to get lunch in town.
Echoing Scott's review, the food is good and the view of the Tetons from the patio is great. We regularly stop at Driggs for breakfast while on our way to Three Forks Montana for their antique airplane fly-in every August.

Bear Lake Airport - 1U7
Just a quick note on the Bear Lake Airport. This is a great airport if you need a bathroom stop or fuel. Don't forget to sign the guest book in the pilot lounge.
Bear Lake is famous for its raspberries. If you ever make it there, make sure you get a "Famous Bear Lake Raspberry Shake".
This could also technically be in the Utah section too since Bear Lake is divided right in the middle between Idaho and Utah. But the airiport is in Idaho.
Bear Lake is a beautiful lake to fly over on your way to and from anywhere.
The main marina at Bear Lake

McCall, ID
McCall Aviation FBO has free bikes to take into town:
They have some great hotels in this resort town, with lots of fun bars like the mile high cafe' where you sit at the boat ramp and grade the boat launch shenanigans as they occur. Great fun!
