new york minute

Matt and I flew up to New York yesterday, we were a little north of Poughkeepsie and stayed with a pilot friend of Matt’s.  It was quite fun, Kyle and Amber were AMAZING hosts!  We had a bonfire last night and today while Matt and I were out flying in the Lake George area we saw some incredible colors.  I am hoping the leaves down here start changing soon!

I don’t really feel like editing a whole lot so I’m only going to post a few pictures from yesterday.  🙂

Over PA somewhere.

Trusty little birdy at a wee airport in PA.  I was a nervous wreck flying into it!  You are over buildings and trees and then bam it’s the runway!  When you take off you are going between two mountains, in a little valley.  SCARY.  At least for a chickenshit like me!

😀

We flew up the Hudson River into Poughkeepsie a ways, I recognized a bit of the area from the few times I visited Matt while he was living there.

The final approach into Sky Acres Airport where we parked the plane for a night.

We were waiting for Kyle to pick us up…this was a lone little poof-poof.

And from the bonfire last night!  Man, how I wish had my own house with some land!!!

All in all I did pretty good for the whole trip.  I tend to only get nervous when it is bumpy, as I do in bigger planes.  I guess I am just not one for turbulence.  It doesn’t make me sick at all, it just scares me.  🙂

The weekend FLEW by.  I can’t believe I have to go back to work tomorrow night!  At least it is my short week though, that makes me happy.  🙂

Later taters, I will catch up with you tomorrow.  I think I am in the mood for a nice hot shower!
