August 23, 2011 - Flight after Work
One of my friends at work loves the RV -- I took him for a brief ride a year or so ago -- and we've been meaning to do it again. Although the weather hasn't been that great lately, it was good for one day, so after work on Tuesday we headed to the airport.
My rider is known simply as "Bader". Here he is standing by the RV.
Taxiing at Essex Skypark.
We crossed over the Bay to the
Eastern Shore, and flew the Choptank River down to Cambridge, then back up
along the Wye River. Most passengers can't take the G forces
without feeling sick but Bader is an iron man. I think I would start
feeling nauseous before he would!
Approaching Saint. Michaels, which is
a quaint little village with restaurants and inns.
Basking in the glory that is flying
the RV ...
Bader and I both enjoyed the flight
and celebrated by having some burgers and beer at the famous "Landings"
bar restaurant -- unique by virtue of having a P-40 Kittyhawk
on the roof.
