Midwest/East coast trip, day 5

Day 5: Dayton to Williamsport, PA via Ohio State. Posted on day 6 since the hotel did not have wireless internet access :-(

Today was a flying day. More F16s in the pattern. How come it's hard to get too much of that? After we'd cranked up, we received a few more waves from the pilots as they taxied by. Nice. I have since found out that the F16s are from the Royal Dutch Air Force (thanks for the tip Eric). Apparently friendly F16 drivers.

We had to make a stop at Ohio State for some charts as the local FBO in Dayton didn't have the particular one we needed.














If you ever need charts for this area, these guys have them while many other FBOs around may not.

So it was one 0.3 leg and a 3+ hour leg today. We could have gone farther but after lunch at the Williamsport airport, it felt like enough for one day.

Williamsport, PA, home of the Little League World Series. We missed it by a couple of weeks but that's probably not a bad thing as hotel availability was likely non-existent.

The journey East continues tomorrow. Weather should cooperate but I keep wondering when we make a right turn at the East coast where hurricane Hanna will be. Ike too for that matter since it's shaping up to be a much stronger storm.
