July 19, 2020 - Flyout to Cape May for Breakfast
|
|
This Sunday morning the Hangar Row A flyers were heading to Cape May, New Jersey for breakfast. We had a big turnout today with seven airplanes and 12 people.
Chip and Michelle were in the lead in their C172.
|
| |
 |
|
|
Uh-oh. The 172 is being stalked by an RV-8.
|
| |
 |
|
| JJ from Easton joined the fun in his Skybolt. Here he is joined up on Chip's 172. |
| |
 |
|
|
That's some seriously good smoke.
|
| |
 |
|
| The RV-8 followed by the C172 followed by the Skybolt. |

 |
|
| Chip took this great shot of me from his C172 on autopilot. |

| |
 |
|
| We all climbed to fly over Dover Air Force Base's Class D airspace. |
| |
 |
|
| Looking down at the Dover AFB Air Transport Museum. Dover is a big military transport base, home to C17s now but C5s and C141s in the past. |
| |
 |
|
|
Chip and JJ about to go feet wet over the Delaware Bay, which is covered by some low fog.
|
| |
 |
|
| A good shot of the entire Dover Air Force Base. See all the big C17s parked on the ramp at left. |

Chip and JJ over the Delaware Bay.
|
| |
 |
|
| The two planes over the low fog was very pretty from the air. |
| |
 |
|
| And there is Cape May Airport. |

| Tom, Brian and JJ at the breakfast table. All seating was outside but under shade. As always at the Cape May Flight Line Diner, the food was excellent. |
| |
 |
|
| Rachel, Chip, Michelle and Charlie. |
| |
 |
|
| Heading back out to the flightline. All the aircraft were from Essex Skfypark except for that Mooney in the foreground left. |

Years in the making, this estate on a point of land sticking out into the Chester River is finally complete. What a place!

| On a good summer day, the boats are always out at Hart-Miller island. |
