Just Some Ohio Airports - C-172 "Flamze"

I thought I'd take the 172 out for a spin to some of the airports I visited in RW flying. I just never went to Burke Lakefront however. :rolleyes:

 

PART 1

 

Taking off out of Columbiana County airport (02G). This is outside of East Liverpool, OH. A little story about this airport. I rented a plane to fly from here to New Philadelphia, OH to visit come college friends. It was an IFR flight there and back. Long story short, when I got back to Columbiana County, I was putting the plane into one of the T-Hangers and managed to run head first into the trailing edge of the flaps. 4 stitches later I was just as good as new. :o

 

 

 

Headed south along the Ohio river towards where I grew up.

 

 

 

Low pass over Dew Memorial (1G8) Was in and out of this airport many times during my early flight instruction prior to Embry-Riddle

 

 

 

This is Jefferson County (2G2) or "Steubenville, OH airport as the locals call it. 5001 X 75 feet! Kind of narrow.

 

 

Harrison County (8G6) Had a $100 hamburger there once.

 

 

Carroll County - Tolson (KTSO) Just a visit there

 

 

 

Heading into the Akron - Canton area. Flew to there in my first low wing Piper.

Thanks Larry. I have a few others I've been to not in this set. Will need to do another post. Looking forward to comparing FSX to the new sim.

Nice screenshots David! I thought it was Jan's Cessna for a moment because of all the flames on it like it was burning up, but glad to see it was only a paint job since YOU'RE flying!

Thank you kindly. Jan's would never have flames on it. Just way too much water. :)

Nice shots David!! ;) Watch out for those flaps!!:eek::eek: And yes, I think that's a great paint scheme as well!!

Thanks Michael. Yeah, didn't duck far enough. It was quite a dark night :rolleyes:

Interesting trip and great shots! I got stuck with one of those $100 hamburgers back in 1975, when $100 was real money ($495.15 according to the inflation calculator). I was only about 3 years out of grad school, and the company i worked for flew me into Houston on a company plane. It had been a long flight, and we didn't get in until about 9:00 that evening. There was going to be a meeting the next morning of a bunch of scientists, and it was held in a new fancy hotel out north of town, which at the time, didn't have any restaurants around. I was starved, so i went down to the hotel restaurant to grab a hamburger. I doubt I had $100 in my bank, I envisioned paying off that hamburger on a 2 year loan. Fortunately, the expense account reimbursed me, with only a chastise for exorbitant spending for one meal. Edited September 14, 2020 by plainsman

For sure highway robbery in those hotels for food!

Nice journey flight with pictures around Ohio, David. I'm down in the opposite end corner of the state.
