One of our favorite local flying destinations is Richmond Executive Airport (Chesterfield), identifier KFCI. In either the Champ or the Bellanca, it is an easy flight down there for Sunday breakfast. The flight down is typically pleasant, with views of downtown Richmond in the distance as you cross over the James River. Outside Richmond there are also some beautiful horse farms.

On Sundays, the restaurant on the field (King's Korner) has a country-style Sunday brunch. The food isn't bad, and there is a huge variety of it, but the best thing is parking on the ramp right outside the restaurant. You can watch your plane through the window as you eat.

The crowd is typically a mix of people out for a Sunday brunch after church and pilots. Get there early (before about 11:30 or so) to avoid the huge lines when church gets out.
