Next week I have a couple of old friends from Europe coming to visit me here in Canada and I am planning to take them on a "Trip of a Life Time" (at least for them) in my RV-10 down the Hudson River NY. VFR corridor and then onto Washington DC for a couple of days.
I did this trip about 20 years ago in a Comanche so I am sure there has been some changes in the rules since then.
If anyone out there has flown this this trip in the last year or so and would share some of the Do's and Dont's with me I would sure appreciate it.
What airport in the NY area is a good one to launch from to do the Hudson corridor?
What publications and charts do I need and where is the best place to get them?
As far as airports in the DC area I am thinking about College Park (KCGS) but it falls within the vail of a current TFR. Does that mean that it is off limits to private aircraft operations?
