$100 Hamburger Bites the Big One
Another from user Abigail: A $100 Hamburger is aviation slang for a private general aviation flight for the sole purpose of dining at a non-local airport. Most often used by pilots who are looking for any excuse to fly, a $100 hamburger trip usually involves flying a short distance (less than two hours), eating at an airport restaurant, and flying home. "$100" originally referred to the approximate cost of renting or operating a light general aviation aircraft, such as a Cessna 172, for the time it took to fly round-trip to a nearby airport. Increasing fuel prices have since caused an increase in hourly operating costs for most airplanes, whether rented or owned.

    this is clearly the better thread about the $100 hamburger. the other thread is nonsense.

    Man this thread is making me hungry. And todd, you are just saying that this thread is better because Jim didn't write it :-)

    I like the several permutations for the "couple hundred dollar hamburger."
