My sister Erin invited us down for a visit to the shore. It turned out that her boyfriend, his daughter and a whole bunch of my nieces and nephews wanted rides. Why not?
The plan was to fly to Ocean City, meet for lunch, then give rides to everyone. I pulled out the plane, put the info in the nav system and Nancy loaded Ocean City into her backup system, shown above.

We taxi out for takeoff. It's the first nice day in a while, so there is a line.

Lined up and ready to go at the departure end of 29.

I have on my Velocity hat, Velocity shirt and I'm happy to be in the air again.
