But the nature of Chesapeake Bay and its rustic countrysides when viewing from above is also mesmerizing. And it is never boring to check in on Potomac. The airspace itself is charmingly challenging, with many busy class bravo nearby. I still vividly remember reading these posts by my favorite OP, a CFI/ATC at ERAU (Although I never figured out which one his main job is) where he would share how he hitched rides, or drove himself, to find the Friday restaurant that fit his mood in a 100nm radius, on a plane! And countless anecdotes like calling the fuel truck and tower on final approach.Īs a typical gearhead pretty much interested in anything that moves, I got my pilot’s license flying out of Martin State, about 20 miles out of Baltimore. 20 years ago, the aviation enthusiast community was kaleidoscopic in an eye-opening way.
I spent a good chunk of my pastime being addicted to posts on aviation BBS.
