Heading southbound along the Jersey shore, we're coming up on Barnegat Light, which is only a few miles from my mother's shore house. HI MOM!

This picture of Barnegat Inlet are brought to you courtesy of a client's Cessna Cardinal from about 2000 feet.

The Barnegat Lighthouse with an interesting traffic pattern in the background.

A closeup of the Barnegat Lighthouse. Although taken from about 2000 feet, I have zooomed in quite a bit. High wing airplanes make aerial photography easy, but I still prefer low wing airplanes.

A beautiful day for flying the Cardinal down to Ocean City, NJ, which is conveniently located across the street from the beach.

You see NEXRAD radar images all the time, but you've probably never seen the site of the radar from this perspective. The trees are cleared out quite a distance from the radome to help prevent ground clutter.

Just after departure from the Ocean City, NJ airport headed northbound. Here you can clearly see the proximity of the airport to the beach.

What a small world. Just after parking in Ocean City, NJ, I noticed the cream-colored Cessna 150 I flew for 500 hours or so back in the early 90's. Ah, memories.

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?
