    Sailor Opinions Needed (NA)

    How WOONS? (Coyote Imitation?)

    Finally, a great New England flying weekend! After flying BTV to IWI (Wiscasset, ME) on Saturday, I had to run a friend down to New Bedford (EWB) Sunday morning to pick up a car. Another beautiful day, but I filed in order to ease the transition through the BOS area and to help with traffic...
