Lake Michigan Crossing
We are planning a flite from home base in SE Indiana to Sturgeon Bay Wi this tuesday to spend some time in Door County. Best route from here is up thru Michigan to cross Lake Mi. at Crystal Lake landing at KSUE Wi. Any thoughts from the Michigan Fliers on crossing and favorites things at the destination. This is a short notice request but if the weather up that way looks ok for a few days its probably a go - thanks.

I have always crossed on V510, MKG to FAH. If you are VFR, there is "lake reporting service", which will provide flight following across the lake.
Your route would take you off the airways, and I don't know if "lake reporting" works that far north. Alternately, you could go up to White Cloud, and take V26-V55 across. What ever you do, I would heartily suggest staying on an airway across the lake. |

I was just in 3D2 a couple of weeks ago. Great little airport and really nice folks there. Fuel was a little high but you wouldn't have to fuel there. My course was 08C direct 3D2 and that put me over the water at LDM until I got to Wisconsin pennisula. Easy flight at 8,000 going up and 7,000 coming back (IFR). Really a neat area from Ephriam up to Ellison bay. Be sure you have the fish boil for dinner in Ellison Bay it's really good. |

Sounds like fun, John. The 10 day weather forecast I just looked at says "It's a nice weekend to fly to Dorr County". It did. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I always like the idea of flying airways, too. There are some people I know who don't, but I do.
