Flight to Ocean City MD
Posted by: | Comments
Ocean City MD
One of the most common questions I am asked as a pilot is “what is the furthest place you have flown to?” If you are a pilot you know what I mean and after being a pilot for 9 years you would think I would have some really cool answer but actually I didn’t. During the years I had made a few flights to locations such as Nashua NH, Manassas VA, and Providence RI with other pilots but since they did the flight planning and most of the flying I considered myself more of a passenger than a crew member.

My first flight in a Helicopter.
While attending EAA AirVenture 2009 I decided to check out the Bell 47G helicopters flying above our camp site every day. So I headed over to the EAA museum. Paid the $40.00 and waited my turn for the flight.
As I was waiting I thought to myself… No one knows that I am taking this flight. I hope we don’t crash! Just then I ran into my friend Dwight.. Read More→
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2009 (Filght Planning)
Posted by: | Comments
UPDATE 7/25/2009 10:30 EST… I just got off the phone with Flight service and according to them we have a SMALL window for a successful departure to OSH. But as the day rolls on the weather conditions will once again deteriorate. If I was IFR rated I would make the flight without much concern (except for thunderstorms). Since we are not IFR rated (one pilot is but is not current). The plan has changed to driving 14+ hours to Oshkosh WI… Now I just know we will be driving under beautiful sky’s the whole way! So much for the flight planning….

Our flight to Block Island RI
Posted by: | Comments
After hearing about Bolck Island from my flying buddy’s for the longest time I decided to check it out; so on Thursday 9/18/2008 we flew our Cessna 172N N3054E to Block Island Rhode Island.
A little about Block Island: (Block Island Tourism Council)
Block Island has long been a haven for residents and visitors who have found here a quality of life that recalls the pleasures of a life that is simpler, slower, and somehow, more carefree. It’s no wonder that the Nature Conservancy has designated Block Island “One of the 12 last great places in the Western Hemisphere.” Read More→
Our trip to the Potomac TRACON
Posted by: | Comments
On September 29th 2007 Irv (a long time member of our flying club) flew Ed (in the back seat) and me (copilot) to Manassas VA for a tour of the state of the art Potomac TRACON facility. This was my first flight in our 182RG N4757T and my first flight using IFR routing. Before this flight I had never really understood the advantage of flying IFR in VMC, but after this flight I was definitely interested in attaining my IFR rating. Read More→
