Pottstown Breakfast Fly In


We decided to try the Fall fly in breakfast at Pottstown airport. Nancy and I took our friends Garret and Kathryn along. Kathryn had just spent a week at Oshkosh with us, but this was her first time actually flying in to a fly in, or taking a trip in our Velocity. The weather was perfect.

Pottstown airport is ridiculously easy to find since it is right next to a nuclear plant. The plume is visible forever and is one of our waypoints on the way home from trips.

The fly in was friendly and fun.

We had breakfast, hung out watching planes for a while. Next time we need to remember the fancy Oshkosh chairs.

It was a fun morning out. The plane performed perfectly and got a lot of interest, as usual. Looking forward to some more nice weather weekends for trips.
