TASTE YOUR HISTORY. Plimoth
Plantation is a living history
museum with five operating sites
(including Mayflower II) in three
locations that give visitors a
chance to see, touch, and taste a
slice of 1627 Pilgrim life. (A new
bakery will open the weekend of
the AOPA Fly-In, with celebrations and tastings continuing on
Sunday).
BRUNCH ON THE WATER. The Pilgrim
Belle hosts daily harbor cruises,
and special brunch cruises on
select dates (including July 13;
reservations required).
CATCH A LOBSTAH. Plymouth Cruises offers a variety of fun nautical
themes, including lobster cruises.
EAT A LOBSTAH. Wood's Seafood
and The Lobster Hut are both
located right on the docks, where
lobstermen bring their daily
catch.
WASH IT DOWN WITH A LOCAL GRAPE.

Plymouth Bay Winery on Water
Street offers daily tastings of
locally grown wines.
PLAY A ROUND OF GOLF. There are
a dozen courses within about
a 15-minute drive, including an
18-hole course across the street
from Plymouth Municipal.
BUILD A SAND CASTLE. There are
several public beaches and parks
within easy reach.
TAKE IN A SHOW. Americana
Theater Co. (in the Plymouth
Community Arts Center on
North Street) has performances
planned Thursday through Sunday at 8 p.m. during the weekend
of the AOPA Fly-In.
TREAT YOUR SWEET TOOTH. Cupcake Charlie's offers a wide array
of decadence, and if you have a
little useful load to spare, there's
Piece of Cake and the Blue Blinds
Bakery.
RIDE THE RAILS. A short flight to
Hyannis (HYA) will put you within
a mile of the Cape Cod Central
Railroad terminal. A brunch train
departs Sundays at 11:30 a.m.

Plane Jane's Place
RESTAURATEUR JANE GRENNELL celebrates 18 years at Plymouth Municipal
Airport (PYM) this month, after nearly two decades of welcoming aviators
and locals alike with fresh food done right. Grennell's family, with an Italian
and Portuguese background, staffs the restaurant on the second floor of the
main terminal, and likes to eat, Grennell said with a smile. Plane Jane's Place
serves breakfast and lunch daily, and dinners-with homemade pizza-on
Thursday and Friday nights. The menu is built on high-quality ingredients,
comfort food with a personal touch.
"My son makes an awesome lobster bisque," Grennell said. "It's so good."
Plane Jane's can seat about 60 inside, and another 15 or 20 on the deck,
which offers a commanding view of the airport. Families bring children who
delight in watching airplanes come and go, along with helicopters, blimps,
paragliders, and others.
"Kids get so excited," Grennell said. "They go crazy."
If you're up for a challenge, try The Biplane: two eggs, two pancakes or
French toast, two sausage links, two strips of bacon, home fries, and toast
for $9.99-a meal often shared. Grennell also caters to calorie counters, with
egg whites available as a substitute for whole eggs.

FLY-IN TIPS
* It's busy airspace. Plymouth Municipal Airport (PYM) straddles the Mode C
veil 30 nm from Gen. Edward Lawrence
Logan International Airport (BOS) and
the airspace can be very busy. VFR flight
following is encouraged.
* You can get help if needed. Maintenance services are available for the full
range of general aviation aircraft.

* Check notams. The airport is
nontowered and has published instrument approaches, including an ILS
for Runway 6 and GPS approaches
to Runways 6 and 24. Runway 15/33
may be closed during the AOPA Fly-In;
arrival and departure procedures and
notam information will be released
three weeks prior to the event.
