Default New England Fall Color

Hello,

I live in Los Angeles, but have relatives I will be visiting in S. Orange, New Jersey on 11/16/11. I've always wanted to see the fall color from the air. Unfortunately, I won't be in my RV-4 for this trip, but I thought it would be fun to rent a plane and instructor to take in some fall color. Does anyone have recommendations on FBO's or where to fly.

Thanks in advance

Ted

And they all know how to sit up and beg, too! Who says you can't teach an old plane new tricks....

Default Confused

Being from the left coast, I'm confused. Why would you tie airplanes
down like that?

To give the snowplows extra room to maneuver...

Seeing the snow weighing down the tails of those Cessnas makes my stomach turn knowing it will be only be a matter of time until mother nature puts my airplane in the "begging" position.
