October 11, 2022 - Maine Foliage Flight
Transit to Sky Acres, NY

Just after takeof at Essex Skypark.  As you can see, the leaves havn't started to turn yet down here in Maryland.
   
Passing by Carroll County Airport.  I haven't been there in a long while.  The airport restaurant closed.
 
This was the transit portion of the flight so I was up relatively high.
   
Pottstown is always easy to spot because of the twin nuclear reactor cooling towers.
   
West of the New York Class B, I saw a contact via ADS-B coming in below me.  I looked down and there was this 737 jet!
   
Passing by New York Stewart International (KWSF), a big towered airport just west of the Hudson River.
   
A closer look at New York Stewart.
   
The Newburgh-Beacon Bridge crosses the Hudson.
   
The Hudson River Valley was shrouded in fog.  But I had a hunch that Sky Acres, my fuel destination, would be clear since it was higher elevation.  I tuned in their Unicom freq and sure enough heard a plane depart fromSky Acres Airport.
   
There is Sky Acres (44N).  All clear.
   
Turning final for runway 35 at Sky Acres.  What a difference the position of the sun makes when taking aerial photographs.
