8.0, a very easy airport to get in and

|
Landing at the
Santa Maria Airport |
|
This airport is often overlooked by SoCal pilots.
A couple of other good destinations airports are near by and few
seem stop here. Two above average restaurants are right on the
airport making this is a good stop for the wifes birthday or Mothers
Day.
Last time we ate at Peppers and I felt the Mexican Food was pretty good.
I've seen mixed reports about Peppers but my experience was postive.
I've had 52 years in SoCal and I think I know my Mexican Food!
This time we stopped at The Radisson Santa Maria
for Sunday Brunch. I'd give it 4 1/2 stars! A very good Buffet
Brunch with lots of shell fish, prime rib, omelet bar and several
entrees. This is a white table cloth place with a view of the ramp
and runway. Park right in front of the door (or window) and simply
walk in. The front desk will give you the door code to leave. Brunch was $21 a person
and well worth it.
