 Posted: Wed Oct 08, 2008 5:23 pm Post subject: Advice request for N.E. trip (PA, NY, CT, RI, MA, NH, ME, VT |
 |
|
Tomorrow I'm going to take a zippy trip with the family to do some
N.E. State hopping. I think we'll stop in Philly overnight, and
then make it to BOS for the next night, and then a couple more
nights, returning home Sunday. Before the invitations start flowing
in too fast, it's gonna be a quick hopping trip with the kids, so
we probably will not be up for doing much hanging out and talking...
just flying from place to place and grabbing whatever courtesy
cars we can get, to see some sights....then back to the hotel
to swim and sleep. But, I could use some advice on a couple
things:
1) Must-see hot items in the various states
2) Advice on flying between PHL and BOS (as in, should I go
through, or stay fully away from NYC?)
3) Advice on airports to stay away from or airports that
would be particularly nice to stop at.
4) Any other quick tips.
The goal is to get to the PHL area tomorrow aft, and see the biggest
historic things there. Then, fly up past NYC and actually make
landings and hopefully see at least one small thing in CT and
RI. Then maybe head up to the BOS area for the night Friday.
Then fly up and stop in NH on the way (or way back from) ME.
Thinking of Booth Bay (wife's request) and maybe some whale watching
and stop for the night Saturday. Then maybe start flying Sunday
and stop in NH and VT at a couple cool places on the way to begin
a trip home. I've never been that far N.E., and neither has the
family, and we've got the goal to visit at least 49 of the 50
states with our plane. So with what looks like good weather this
weekend, we want to do our first trip there and check the states
off the list, and get ideas for a more extensive trip to our
favorite places some other year.
Any help, esp. with that segment from PHL to BOS going through
NYC would be great. I'd love to fly and see the main city sights,
but being totally unfamiliar with that airspace I'm justifiably
squeamish. I don't need to bust some big rule. Also, I usually
fly lots of direct legs, but I'm assuming as I get near these big
cities I'll be staying on airways a lot more....I just have no
idea what common routings they use.
Thanks in advance....just email me OFFLINE if you can, so I
don't bury the list server with replies. I've got my legs
planned to the Philly area (staying at KLOM) so far, and tonight
I'll be trying to finalize the KLOM to Boston area legs before
I depart on the trip. Can do the rest enroute if necessary.

It should be really easy.. NYC Class B goes only to 7,000ft... One option is to follow V16... fly right over JFK... fly over Long Island (Deer Park, Calverton), then zip across a little water onto CT side... and fly right to BOS area (I'm guessing you're going to Norwood??)
Should be a pretty cool trip.. 7,500 and higher will keep you above Class B.. .. on a nice day, you should have magnificent views of Manhattan...
Enjoy it...

If you want to preserve your sanity and wallet, I'd avoid Teterboro.
Just check the Airnav prices and comments.
Lincoln Park and Caldwell are both nearby, have Enterprise available
and much less expensive. I've parked at CDW on 3 different trips this
year, with no problem...new FBO Avantair is cheaper than McDan, with
less facilities...depends on your needs.

I am an ex-New Yorker now living (and building) in the Berkshire Mountain
region of western Ma. If you are planning on visiting the greater NY metro
area, you can really see the city well.
There is a VFR corridor from lower NY habor heading up the Hudosn River
overflying the Statue of Liberty with a great view of Manhattan. If you are
planning on spending any time in the City (NY that is) Teterboro Airport in
New Jersey is a good place to overnight.
