It was a hot but beautiful day to fly! 

Five aircraft with ten chapter members departed New Garden for the scenic flight to Cherry Ridge. The high temperatures prevented us from enjoying the view on the restaurant’s outdoor deck, but we were definitely happy to be inside, enjoying our breakfast in an air-conditioned area. A lot of aviation topics were discussed while the various menu offerings were sampled.
The flight back presented us with a couple areas of moderate to heavy rain showers which made for some quick decision making as we selected the best path around them. Overall, they didn’t delay us too much and the flight was uneventful, with all aircraft returning to New Garden before the rain arrived. 

Thank you to all the pilots and passengers that made this fly-out a success!

Hopefully our next fly-out, scheduled for August 10th (Groton, CT) will also be TFR-free and met with good flying weather.
