How to spend half a weekend

Fencer

Experimentalist
Hot and muggy weekend in NYC I climbed to 60F and stayed there on NW heading. Saw real jettt. Heard him too.

Puffies were building up fast and I forgot my O2. Went lower and enjoyed the view. This is the exact track.

Tracking Susquehanna River there should be an airport with cheap gas somewhere.

Logged more then 3 hours, spent less then 100 bucks on fuel. Now who is jealous? :)
 
Nice Fencer! I never get to see low level stuff anymore! I saw an all metallic plane in ONX last sunday, that wasn't you was it?

Were you in that Citation with engines running when I crawled to the fuel pump? :) I love that burnt jet fuel smell.
 
Oh man, I didn't realize you were behind me when I fired up. As I taxied out I saw your plane there and felt bad. However, we did have pax on board :)
 
Awesome pics as always!

Next time I'm at 39N I'm shooting you a PM! I want to check that RV out!
 
Looks good. I went out for breakfast with a buddy in the RV6 last Sunday. 150kts, some XC, a couple of rolls. All that fun for less than $50 in fuel. Can't beat the RV's, good efficient fun.
