50 USA State Challenge! Part 3

Time to leave North Windam (3N3) in Vermont. Destination Worcester, Massachusetts (KORH). Just a very short flight. After a night of camping with the plane, it will be nice to get to civilization. But first, the short field take off.

Part 1

The route:

OK. All the way at the end of the field. 10 degrees flaps, 3/4 tanks of fuel, just me in the plane plus supplies. Hold the breaks, go to full throttle, check the RPMs, release brakes, get the speed into the white arc and then get the nose up for best angle of climb. I was actually a bit nervous! It's been a while since I did one of these :eek:

Pull up to best angle of climb to clear the trees

Yee haw!

This is the fun of flying!

From the hangers view

Got to clear the mountains before I make my left hand turn on course.

Part 2 coming up

Part 2

Approaching Worcester. Tower wants a right downwind to 29

Our local not so friendly towers

Right downwind 29

A look at downtown

Base leg. I think I stretched the downwind just a bit.

Seriously?!

Time to call it a day...

"Time to call it a day?" I think I would be wanting to get the H... out of there and find the next airport to "Call it a day!"

You done good though, nice flight! How many more miles to the Pacific coast?

Rick :cool:

That will be a great series of posts!

Appreciated that good short field takeoff!

Well Rick I did want to continue to Rhode Island to get one more state under my belt. Alas, life got in the way yesterday evening.

How many miles? I have no clue, I'm making this up as I go! :D

That will be a great series of posts!

Thanks Gerard! I guess the most fun short field take off I ever did was during my Commercial pilot, multi-engine training. At that time we were flying the Piper Seminole. Runway 25L Daytona Beach, FL. It was actually the "complex" part of the Commercial check ride. Now that was cool!

David, looking at the screenshots it appears you will be flying this all with default scenery? It may be just me but I would think things would get a bit repetitive after a few states?

Hi Clutch,

The scenery is: REX Worldwide Airports HD, ORBX Global BASE, ORBX Freeware Airports. Definitely does get a bit repetitive especially in the northeast. Things should change as I go. The mid west I feel is going to be really repetitive!

Good leg again David, Don't want to know how many miles to go......;) I really like your project, hat off! :cool::cool:

Why thank you kindly! It is enjoyable :D

A fine flight David. Lots of nice airport destinations to go. :cool: :cool: :)

Thanks Larry! Having a good time for sure

Great shots. Very nice flight except for the ground control screw up. Which one of you had to "back up"? Jim

LOL! ATC kept telling me to taxi and the others had to hold. I decided to take the grass :D

Nice flight and shots except for that little incident on the taxiway! :D

Thanks again! Yeah, that was a bit odd
