A really fun place to visit is Banyan Pilot Shop aka Hangar 63. This aviation store has everything a pilot or a want-to-be pilot wants or needs. The store is amazing! When you walk in there are propellers coming out of the wall and a runway with lights down the center of the store. There's a GII fuselage with flight simulator software that you can fly for free. The store also has an electronics tower that has all the latest portable electronics. A very large headset section offers a variety of headsets and you can try them in the egg sound booth to see how well they work. Look above your head and see a very large glider attached to the ceiling. What's really neat is that non-pilots love to shop the store also for cool gifts, kids toys, apparel, mugs, hats, watches, sunglasses, unique aviation items. You can Fly-in, Drive-in or Shop on-line http://www.banyanpilotshop.net - it's a very fun place to visit. While you are there, visit Jet Runway Cafe, just a few steps away - they serve amazing breakfest and lunches 6 days a week and the view is incredible. - Submitted by Nancy Bouvier
