The Flying Bear Goes to Beantown | Part 4, Going Missed

Photographic Logbook

I had no interest in flying one hour north only to be shut out of our destination by weather below minimums for the available instrument approach procedure.

Vero Beach Vacation and Gear Issue

Gary's Flight Journal

We departed Ocean City in very strong gusty winds and pointed for Snow Hill VOR. I canceled flight following with Potomac approach and diverted to Accomack. I tucked 3 Tango Charlie in the hangar and we decided to drive to Vero Beach FL. Why do I think this will be like the hangar wait list. Lunch was excellent!

North to Ottawa | Part 1, With a Little Help from Kingston Radio

Photographic Logbook

I filed a route of BRUIN to ART (Watertown VOR) to Kingston to avoid overflying significant portions of Lake Ontario.
