Get Your $100 Hamburger Here
Pilots looking for that “$100 Hamburger” should consider Vernon. Often there will be members at the VFC clubhouse to welcome you with a coffee or cold drink. If you are in the mood for something more substantial, check out the Sky High Diner located just outside the fence next to the Vernon Flying Clubhouse. A level 15-minute walk will bring you to Tim Horton’s, McDonalds, Subway and other local eateries. Okanagan Lake’s Kin Beach is close, with a large sandy beach and shady park, ideal for a sunny afternoon picnic lunch.
