Tour around Lake Michigan was my dream for years. On my way to Oshkosh 2006 we drove around it but didn't see much from the road. I told myself after my RV is airworthy I would fly around it. And I did in 2013. It took Saturday all day and most of Sunday. Weather was perfect VRF as usual. Below is a loose slideshow with some subtitles. There will be some pictures looking rather provocative but they were planned and no safety was compromised.
... Preflight was done the night before. I told her where we go and how. She agreed. I showed up very early in the morning.
First stop is 6G4 Wynkoop airfield in Ohio. Short hop two hours something. Sun was rising over New York City.
A City of relaxed filmmaking and associated airport. ATC called it a pit looks decent to me.
One hour more and Wynkoop 12 o'clock.
Very nice, hospitable and picturesque place. Grass runway 9 out of 10.
Lots of different airframes.
Hmm. RV too? So it says on the tail.
