Flying with Bob is like turning 17 and having your drivers license.
You have to re-adjust your thinking on what’s local.
Great Job!
Thanks Bob!

Awwwww, Pete. You hit the nail on the head with that description. I can tell from the narrative and those awesome photos that you and Bob were on one heck of a fine trip.
I’m just getting back in the air and just beginning to expand my envelope. Bob has been instrumental in helping my regain my wings.

Bob,
Great flight and Pete nailed it, just like getting a drivers license all over again, what a feeling. Great web page, I hope to get caught up on all your posts.
Do you use Flight Following during your flights?
Yes.
How do you typically expand your envelope?
New destinations and always review and update my minimums.
Do you have any “bucket list” flights that you’ve done or dream about?
Block Island was “on the list”. Mary and I want to see Yellowstone, “fly” back to Niagra Falls and search out that airpark in N.C. for retirement.

I took the exact same flight from the AOPA Expo last year…Portland for lobster…Some of the pictures look like copies of the ones I took. We bypassed Demillos and ate at Joes..the dive right beside DeMillos…Great writeup…

Hi Kelvin,
Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.
“Some of the pictures look like copies of the ones I took”
That’s pretty funny.
“bypassed Demillo’s and ate at Joe’s”
Yes! I saw Joe’s as we started walking around looking for Pete’s sweater. I did feel that DiMillo’s was much more expensive than I expected (for lobster in Maine!). I made a mental note of Joe’s for next time.
Was Joe’s good in your opinion?
