After three weeks, the wind relaxed enough for us
to get airborne despite some rather ominous looking
cloud formations.  Regardless, the day turned out to be
a winner, with us flying throughout much of central
New Jersey with a detour into east-central Pennsylvania
and the Lehigh Valley / Allentown area.

As always, I hope you enjoy the view from above...

Today's weather was ever changing, from a friendly sky as shown in the first picture to an ominous and threatening sky a bit later in the flight. In some instances, rain could be seen in the distance as you will see in one of the pictures.

 All in all, the flight lasted about 1-1/2 hours and to fly very close to the rain clouds (sorry, no pictures of this) was a real treat indeed.

As always, I hope you enjoy the view from above !!!

#1 - Threatening clouds mixed with abundant

sunshine.  That pretty much sums up the flight today
