Instrument Rewards

Another weekend adventure to/from Ocean City, MD.  I filed an instrument flight plan each way just to keep myself sharp working in the system. Not much new to post but I thought I would share some photos I took after climbing out of OC for our flight home. I never get tired of climbing through the clouds and coming out on top in bright sunshine!

Departing KOXB, South view while on a 270* heading

Finally turned North, then Direct ATR (near Lewes Delaware)

layer starting to really open up south of Dover DE

Clearing over Dover AFB. 

After getting a good view of Dover AFB and a pretty nice view of Dover Downs Race track I was handed off to Philly and descended for my approach into Wilmington.  Of course I got a traffic call out and responded that I was IMC at the time.  I did advise approach once in the clear and looking for an update on the traffic along with having the airport in view. I was cleared for a visual approach and handed off to the Wilmington Tower.

We made the customary stop for ice cream and yes, Maggie enjoyed hers too.  I also was surprised to find my new bayonet style probes waiting in the mail box.  My next blog update will be the new probes installation at Cecil aero.
