We took a quick flight to one of our favorite ice cream places near Chatham Municipal Airport (KCQX) on a beautiful July evening. Upon landing back at KHYA we were treated to this sunset. Truly the cherry on top!
I am a lucky man. I live on Cape Cod and had a dinner date on Nantucket with my 8-year old granddaughter. Flying home, we encountered a beautifully calm summer evening and this view over Nantucket Sound. Martha’s Vineyard is visible in the left of the photo and Cape Cod to the right. With sights like this I am bound to piqued her interest in the wonders of aviation… I hope!
Cranberries are knocked off their bushes while the bogs are flooded, allowing them to be corralled for harvest. We may be flatlanders here in this part of our state but the water views (both coastal and lakes) make it beautiful flying country. This annual sight is always one of my favorite iconic views of the Cape Cod area.
There’s nothing like a sunset when viewed from the cockpit of a light airplane. This week’s Friday Photo is a striking example, and Frank Facchetti explains why this one has a little extra meaning for him.
