Weekend: Some Cafes In The Valley Are Perfect For Pilots

The Runway Cafe is one of several restaurants in the San Joaquin Valley that operate next to city airports.

 And now for the Weekend: Some people take road trips on their days off -- and some people take to the air --  pilots flying their private planes from one city airport to another -- maybe to log some hours or just get a great view of the Sierra Nevada. And if they’re lucky, there’s an airport cafe where they can grab a bite to eat. I spoke with Charlotte Scott, the owner of the Runway Cafe at the Woodlake Airport, about an hour southeast of Fresno. She says people used to fly there for the $100 burger.
