Visiting 53VG

Mid Atlantic RV event was canceled but the ball was already rolling.

To N57 New Garden for breakfast. Not a single RV came. Perfect VFR.

Then to Virginia for desert.

Checked MARS radars on the way.

Flew over deserted VA beaches and arrived at out favorite strip.

Corn is tall.

Taxiway Alfa.

Stuck. What? No media around?

Happy host. Now he knows that we know where all the sugary and fat laden food is.

Nice picturesque place thanks for having us Glen.

Glad you guys stopped in!

... also glad I have "accelerated ice cream recipe" !!!!!

PS: glad you did not zoom in, or you'd see that I've been taste testing that sugary and fat laden food

Vlad,

Was there any difficulty getting permission for the low pass over Wallops? Sure wish they allowed civilian use as my wife loves spending lazy days on Chincoteague Island.

I had a negotiator. Last year I tried alone and they refused. This time they were again kind of slow on comms but after repeated calls by a pro permission was granted.

Perhaps the accent hurt your chances...;-) or, the call "Wallops tower, KGB flight of one, requests low pass"

Taxiway Alfa.

I think you really meant "taxiway Alfalfa"

Jerry - the closest it gets to alfalfa is winter wheat (or the occasional crop of barley). All crops other than corn, are "low wing friendly". Those "9" drivers need to come up with a clipped wing conversion
