Second Leg of the Baron East Coast Trip

Recommended Posts

After spending some time in the Outer Banks it was time to continue our trip south to warmer weather. Today's trip takes us from First Flight Airport in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina to Northeast Florida Regional Airport in St. Augustine. The weather was perfect for the entire flight, and coupled with cruising at only 4,000' to avoid the strong headwinds above, we enjoyed a great view during our trip. Here we go!

It didn't take us long to get to 4,000', so now it's time to set the autopilot and enjoy the views

After cruising over the Atlantic for a while, it's nice to be back over firm ground

Airport in sight, we're fully configured for landing and our passengers are ready to get out and stretch their legs

Short final over US Route 1 just a few seconds away from greasing the landing, which was much needed for our confidence after the rather rough landing on the last leg. Welcome to St. Augustine!

 

That's all for now. Thanks for viewing!

Thanks guys!

 

Nice set again Chris! Did you know that even all the scenery around has all those individual grass blades? Yup, I tried landing on a golf course in my CriCri!

 

LOL, I have not tried landing on a golf course yet, I'm still trying to perfect my concrete runway landings!
