A very gusty day in New York


YEEEEEE HAAAAA!

My last landing in New York! (Just kidding). It was so windy in New York today. The winds were at the absolute max the aircraft could safely land in. Everyone was having to go around because the winds exceeded the max. Once the winds would die down enough we could come in and land. Needles to say we got caught in the conga line and ended up being over a hour late today. It was a wild ride in all the bumps. The winds were over 39 knots. That is just under 50 miles per hour. Yippy Ki Yay!

We were able to get out of there and on to Tampa. It was much nicer in Florida.

This is an area just South of Tampa. Many ships come in and off load and pick up their materials. The city is to the middle right.


Here is a better picture of downtown Tampa. It was so nice to see the water and get warmed up.


Here is a picture of an Air Force base called MacDill in Tampa. This is a cool base where Special Forces work and play. This is the place where Mom and I went to the airshow and Mom was in the infamous portapotty! (Remember)


These are some beautiful homes on the Gulf. It would be very exciting to live on the water. What a view.

Well another early morning and on to Connecticut tomorrow.

See ya soon!
