It was raining like crazy for three days. No flying.
Finally Sunday! Mostly sunny with temperature above freezing. The museum month is ending and I've visited only two. Time for a big one, time for Smithsonian Air and Space in Washington, DC. A quick phone call - flight plan into FRZ filed. College Park Airport, MD KCGS.
WOT!! Out of this swamp
Good tailwind. Climbing on top of Philly Class B.
Somewhere here just north of Bay Bridge airport I asked Potomac gatekeepers to let me in.
Observed, proceed on course, stay out of Bravo, report College airport in sight... what could be simpler...
It was a bit bumpy below 1,500 feet but not terrible. I even managed to get couple shots of the Mall and the Monument.
