Engine Break-in Flight to Yakima, WA.

One of the club airplanes recently got a new engine and needed some extended break-in flights (greater than one hour). Of course the destination had to have a restaurant and my first thought was to fly to Washington, but since I'd already been to all of the airport restaurants in the Puget Sound area, I scanned the sectional and the internet for a food destination that I hadn't been to and was also greater than one hour away. I came across a new (to me) cafe which was located on the Yakima airport. No walking or crew car required, just taxi to the end of runway 27 and park next to the restaurant. I invited another club member to fly along with me, and we were off to KYKM and grub at Reno's On The Runway.
