Leg 1: Boston MA to South Albany NY
Good start to the trip - 133 nm, 0:54:00 minutes enroute. Some low hanging scud all throughout the trip, but gray and drizzly in Eastern MA.
Departing KBOS and views of the city
Double Rainbow west of Boston, but low hanging scud past the I-495 split forces me down to 2500’
Passing Worcester Regional.
Springfield MA in the foreground, with the Connecticut River flowing south all the way before emptying into Long Island Sound at Old Lyme.
Westover Air Reserve Base to port.
Passing over Westfield-Barnes Airport.
The Hudson River marks our turnpoint north to Albany.
Rowena Quarry and a big manufacturing facility are landmarks on the approach into RWY1 to South Albany (4B0)
Good thing there’s an RNAV into both ends, the low scud has socked in the approach.
Passing over the massive CSX Selkirk freight yard - there’s a big warehouse on the approach, I disconnect above MDA and fortunately gain sight of the threshold. Continue landing!
Made it down safely to South Albany.
