Here we are on approach to a small airport in central PA during an absolutely perfect day for flying.
A view while on approach to the Martha's Vineyard airport one perfectly clear late summer day.
Many airports have full weather briefing stations that pilots can use to conduct critical preflight weather analysis and flight planning prior to departure.
One of our regular routes takes us directly over Kennedy airport in NYC. The vast majority of private aircraft fly into airports OTHER than those that serve the airlines, so contrary to popular belief we don't contribute to airline delays.
Here we are flying southbound down the Hudson River looking west at the catskills mountains following a recent snowfall.
Every 50 hours of flight we clean the engine bay with mineral spirits dispensed through a compressed air wand. It removes all of the oil and dirt that naturally forms as a consequence of engine operation.
This is a nice perspective of Long Island Sound just after passing JFK airport enroute to Martha's Vineyard one day. The northern shore of LI is to the right, the southern shore of Connecticut in the distance to the left.
Although we use GPS for a bulk of our navigation, we still rely on charts such as this VFR sectional chart to determine where we are in the world.
On final approach to Ocean City, NJ. This was a challenging airport to find from a distance because it is nestled in with all the homes. Can you see it?
