I got up early and headed to the airport to fly to Peg's Toms
River house. Winds were 6 from 28, winds at 2000 were 22 going down to the shore and was just a short 30 min trip ( nice tail wind ). I called up McGuire approach (McGuire AFB) and went
straight through the military space. I wish I had my camera going as I was
instructed maintain my heading and 3000 ft altitude so a KC 10 Tanker taking off and could passed 1000
feet underneath me.
I landed at Ocean County Airport (KMJX) and tied down N25DV, then got the rental car. I was at the
house working in 8 mins. It was better to fly verses the 2.3 hour drive. So round trip was about a 1 hour flying instead of 5 hours in the truck.
Got back to the KMJX and the wind was up to 10 kts gusting to 15 kts and just east of there at McGuire AFB, winds were 12kts gusting to 22 kts. Weather was coming in with spotty showers. I navigated around some of the showers, other than a little bumpy it was a great trip. I also used the GRT autopilot and it work flawlessly after making some adjustments yesterday.
