Adamz does the Hudson

[Gary]

Was just a beautiful day here in southeast PA. Was all rairin for a good breakfast with the usual Quakertown Pilots Assoc. Sunday breakfast. Unfortunately, I neglected to clean the snowfall off the Cherokee, this over the last few days, solidifed into a solid sheet of ice .

But, to the rescue came Buck (who does have a hanger and a nice new turbo 182. So Adam, I, Buck and Bob piled in. After the usual hemming and hawing as to where to go, we all decided to head to Orange Co. NY (MGJ). The Runway Cafe is excellent and was easily able to seat all 18? of us. After breakfast and more hemming and hawing, it was decided that the trip home should be down the Hudson. Weather couldn't have been better. The pictures don't do it justice.

You will have to ask Adam directly on how the 182 flies , I think he liked it!

Hey Gary,

Why don't you plan on doing it on your way up to or down from Sky Acres? We can tag along, but not in formation.

Wow! Amazing pics. Sure was a nice day to be out there.

Yeah it was a nice day. Gary and I back seated it in the 182T on the way up . We never really sat back seat. But I gotta say it was travelin in comfort and Style.

On the way back I flew some right seat. I had flow in the 182T before ( Andrew's plane on an Angel Flight) The amount of information on the G1000 is well its just astounding. Plane flew solid as a rock.

Lee I'd love to get checked out but I NEED A CAP CFI dagnamit.
