Had a chance to fly into York for a pilots n paws mission in June. Great controllers in Harrisburg. Cool approach with the hill on the left side and quarry on right side of 35.
I agree I learned to fly at WTHV about 37 years ago. it’s a beautiful area with lots of interesting things to do. Used to spot Three Mile Island complex just after breaking ground flying North. Lots of memories
Thank you for your comment. That approach is on my YouTube Channel #pilotover55 and the picture is just a still from the 4K video from a GoPro Camera
