5500 on the way down, 6500 on the way back (the picture taken over the nose is the first on the way back). I've had good luck getting cleared through this part of the Bravo with those altitudes, never any vectors, just direct. Next time it is this clear I'll try for lower, should be a neat view of the city.
I'll meet you there and sell you some gold sparkly things. (Dragging another thread over here).I miss Boston. Gonna go visit this summer and show ny daughter the old schools I attended and the tree where her mom and I got married.

Those are amazing pictures, just amazing. I will be doing a x-country soon (hopefully) thru the Class Bravo airspace above KBOS. I'm really looking forward to that. Thanks for posting these.
Wow, under the hood in your 2nd x-country? I wonder if I'll be doing that. Thanks for sharing that story, too-- that'll make me feel better when it's my turn to do the drunken wandering/ tracking VORs-for-the-first-time dance!My second dual XC during my Private Pilot training was Nashua to Martha's Vineyard (MVY) through the BOS Class Bravo. My CFI and I had lunch at the airport restaurant, making it my first $100 (fish and chips) too. I highly recommend it as a destination!
Back then I flew nearly the whole way back under the hood, one of my first times tracking a VOR under the hood. I was pretty good holding altitude but my drunken wandering across the sky (at one point we got "Confirm your destination is Nashua?") caused Boston Approach to deny a Bravo clearance and we went over the top at 8500. By the end of the trip I was doing much better and after a CFI-Vectors-Landing-System approach we broke out at pattern altitude right on course
