Line Up and Wait
This weekend I flew up to Maine to see my daughter and my wife (she was at a reunion). Well I had a great flight talking to ATC like I knew what I was doing, made me feel good. I was going to head out in the morning but the fog didn’t clear out until early noon. So by the time I departed I had an 18 or so knot head wind making me land early. I landed a Jaffrey grabbed some fuel for the plane and Ice Cream for me (note to self don’t get a large cone again). When I got back to Jaffrey I called Flight Service they told me to stay east of Manchester to avoid weather. About 45 min later I was cleared to land runway 11. Taxied to Northeast air and called for a cab (turned out to be a limo) and headed to the hotel. The people at Northeast Air were great they took care of all my needs. Well Sunday came around sky was clear, I took a look at the computer and any way I look at it I was going to hit IMC on the way home. Southern NH, VT and Northern MA were reporting 600-1400 ceilings until 9 or so then it was reporting marginal VFR at home. So once again the FBO helped me out and got me a car.
Now for the help, I am not sure if this is going to work because weather doesn’t look good on Friday. I am flying to PR from Philly on Tuesday and I made my return flight form PR to Boston. Then I plan on renting a car and driving 2 hr up to Portland to get my plane. I was wondering if anyone was interested in flying me from Boston (or a local airport) to Portland.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Bob
