Better down here than up there: 47N (pt 3)

This Baron also did well, taking off  into a cautious shallow climb.










By this time a few hours had passed; I looked at the sock, the flag, and poor little 7QJ rocking to and fro, struggling to get free of her tiedowns, and I decided to call it a day. Better to be down here wishing you're up there than up there wishing you're down here... as they say.
Maybe next weekend it'll be better.





But it was a nice day of spotting-quite a few passers-by:

That SAS 330 is niiice. Didn't know 47N was so close to Newark.

About 20 miles as the crow flies... which is why I'm based there. Almost all of these flights seemed to be turning over a reporting point or nav fix nearby; not sure which one (maybe "Liner", a VOR intersection just NE of the field).

Great shots in the three post!!

 I was thinking about you going up today and was wondering how you made out.  

 Just a little creepy having a cemetery so close to the airport.

Now you know.
 And I bet you're glad you didn't come along... with a passenger, I might've felt some pressure to go for it. No danger, I've flown in worse, but it'd have been bumpy flying and very scary landings. I had plenty of bumps on my last flight, and justdidn't want to deal with it.

Creepy, yes, but so very convenient!!

Looks like it!

I really like that little cessna... almost sad... planes are made to roam the skies, not to be tied down...

Great shots Rotty!

Those 150/2's are so much fun!! A little cramped, but actually not as bad as it looks, I just hate getting in and out of them..

Nice to see something danish, or rather scandinavian , in the thread too.
