This is Part 2 of an incredible weekend of aviating. Today, June 10th, 2012, I was flying southeast to Robert J. Miller Airpark in Toms River, NJ to take my Mom for a flight around the area. Next was to fly back northwest to Trenton-Robbinsville airport and take Pops (my Dad) for a flight around the area as well, finally returning home in the late afternoon before the thunderstorms crept in. The air was very calm/still and this lasted for most of the day; a rarity indeed...
As always, I hope you enjoy "The View from Above"
