My good friend Dave and I have a certain weakness for delicious Vermont Beer. To further complicate things, we have a good friend, Chris, who lives in Burlington and is a bigger beer nut than both Dave and I combined. A combination of perfect weather and an airplane that could make a 9 hour drive into a 2.25 hour flight sealed the deal. We were making a beer run to Burlington, VT via KBTV. This trip was challenging for me since I have never flown into Class C airspace before. A little research went a long way to make it a non event. Our flight path up could not of been any simpler - KDMW to KBTV direct!
Getting the airplane ready.
We can't show up empty handed in Burlington. Whenever either of us sees our friend Chris, we always do a beer exchange. Our mediocre beer for his great beer.
Not a cloud int the sky at KDMW. I topped off the tanks so I wouldn't stick Dave with too big of a fuel bill at KBTV.
We're off a little after 0900. Off to the East of KDMW looks like a controller burn of some sort...or maybe a tire fire.
Passing over the famous Three Mile Island.
We're excited for some VT Beer! Also, we somehow unknowingly dressed the same. Dave enjoyed the new Lightsped Zulu headsets....a nice and much needed upgrade over the crappy David Clark ANR's I previously had.
Crossing the Delaware River from Pennsylvania into New York.
In Upstate NY we ran into some lakes that were still covered in ice. Winter was not friendly to anyone on the East Coast.
