Flight Log - Heading to the Country by Drew Sikora

Looking across the Hudson towards Haverstraw - the white hangar is where a helicopter landing pad resides and a good point to fly out of to get to Manhattan without dealing with the metro area air traffic

ATC said FU and sent me back across the runway to the ass end of the airport parking

I think I'm over the Gulf coast? Turning to a new heading. I had to rely on my timer and knew I had a poor estimation of my TAS so I basically made an educated guess. Still no towering clouds *sigh*

Terrain!! After so much flatness, even a little bit is a sight for sore eyes. That there is the Big Sioux River

Also clearing the power lines that run south of the airfield which were not noted as obstacles on the charts - they are there but not this high. Ah well, made for a more exciting departure!

Further north, keep the Hudson well to my left to stay out of the Bravo airspace surrounding Albany. Catskill mountains off in the distance and just over them above my plane is a green nav light I think is Andrew taking a more direct route
