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...
