I'm planning my familiar trip from FDK to 0B5, Frederick to central MA, for next week. I have always done it IFR, but I wanted to check in with those of you who live in the area to see what you think about doing it VFR.
The reason for doing it that way is that it can still be cold in the Northeast, and I would be to stay below icy clouds, should they exist.
I've noticed that on days with fair weather CU, the bases are usually at least 3,000 AGL. In addition, it would be more fun for me and my wife to do lower flying so we can sight-see.
Finally, I can almost do it GPS direct, saving time and gas.
Thoughts?
