Philip and Alex fly down the East Coast

7

In the unlikely event that anyone cares and/or wants to get together…  Alex and I are flying Diamond Star N505WT down the East Coast this week.  The plan is as follows:



  • Sunday:  Bedford, MA to Teterboro, NJ for lunch with cousin Lynn and family, proceeding to Gaithersburg, Maryland to see parents, siblings, and friends
  • Tuesday:  to Norfolk, VA to see friends
  • Wednesday: to Gettysburg, PA to visit Matthew Amster, professor of anthropology at Gettysburg College
  • Thursday or Friday:  back to Bedford

I don’t expect to be able to get Internet access so if you want to get together in one of these places call 617-818-1256 (the cell phone).

I passed my Commercial pilot's certificate checkride two weeks ago and now am working on the Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) rating.  So it is good practice to fly from the right seat and let a student try his/her hand/paw at the stick...]
