Robin and I started planning the trip in February. I could not manage to get there last year but this year I took a personal day at work and up we went.
Robin rented the plane out of Solberg NJ and his nephew joined us as a crewmember. Weather was great and we were lucky because we were heading West. Those who planned their trips to the East were surprised and confused by huge TFR. It popped suddenly early Sat morning on very short notice. Probably Commander-in-Chief was on his way to a Broadway Show.
Anyway weather was great, bigger than usual blue windsock indicated little x-wind.
Up there we picked up FF and enjoyed the trip. English Captain is instrument rated, current and in charge so no worries for Russian Navigator and American FO here.
ATC was helpful. Otherwise we would miss that Dash.
Scenery was wonderful.
As we got deeper into Pennsylvania, clouds were forming. In the spamcan we were flying the AI felt the clouds and started acting a bit. But we got the right Captain so no worries again.
