I was reading a response someone made where they said “while in flight, call the tower on the cellphone.” It got me thinking, where would I find the phone number to call the control tower in an emergency?

So, I am in flight and loose my radios, I have my Garmin GPS, my sectional charts, and my cellphone with foreflight on it. Where would I find the tower telephone number? Do I just call FSS and have them relay. I can be sure that in an emergency, once I get someone on the phone, I am not hanging up to call someone elese that may not answer, or I copied the phone number wrong.

I am Planning 2300 mile trip from KOKV to L00, 150 miles per leg, no more than 5 hours flying time a day. I am not the camping type. How do you select airports to land at that have a way to get to and from a hotel, meals, replenish food supplies?

It doesn't look like the US is going to be opening up anytime soon. So what are some ideas for finding an airport where I can get food and drink supplies for the next day's flight, breakfast and dinner meals, transportation to and from the airport to the hotel and food/water replenishment?

Do I just use the AOPA airport info and internet and start calling each airport FBO and local hotels? I see most hotels, if they are not near a major airline serviced airport do not list airport shuttles, and I don't want to get stuck at an airport where the courtesy car is unavailable.

How does everyone else handle multi day trips at multiple airports?

Thanks!
