Here are some pics I've taken while CFIing out of BWI the last couple months:
Student solo at Easton, MD (ESN).
Ocean City, MD (near OXB).
Susquehanna River in southern Pennsylvania.
Where I work.
Visitor to BWI.
Baltimore.
Here's the Seneca we're getting on leaseback. I got to fly 2.8 with the owner, who is an ExpressJet new-hire. It's nice getting paid to fly an aircraft while getting checked out on it instead of the other way around! There are some hang ups right now with the checkout process and the insurance, but we'll get this thing up soon enough. It's a very nice plane to fly.
Flying the Hudson with a Class Bravo clearance at about 1200 feet. We had flight following from Dover, Atlantic City, Philly, McGuire & New York Approaches. I was planning on cancelling flight following and proceeding under the Bravo but New York gave it to me and I ended up on Newark and La Guardia Towers up the river to the George Washington Bridge and back down. The only other time I flew the Hudson was at night, so no pics that time.
Grumman Flying Boat parked at Carroll County Airport (DMW) on the 30th.
A Diamond DA20-C1 will go up to 12,500. Who knew!? Actually, last winter when it was cold out another instructor I work with and his student got one up to 14,000. The airplanes are happy to do it. It actually seemed like it took longer to get back down than it did to get up there because you have to keep power in and the decent rate slow or else the engine will get real cold. For some reason these planes run cold in level flight with cruise power set anyway, in the yellow range below the green on the CHT. I didn't want to push the 30 minute regulation, plus it was at night so my "record" will remain at 12500, minus the right seat Citation ride at ATP.
I hope everyone enjoys the pics.
