New video coming Sunday, November 2! We're filing a flight plan for southern Pennsylvania and western Maryland in search of some fall color and mountain views. Along the way we'll stop-in at Virginia's Grass Patch (VA62), Pennsylvania's Greater Breezewood (P17) and Somerset County Airport (2G9), and Maryland's Garrett County Airport (2G4). It'll be a great day with some amazing scenery, so come along and join the fun!

Q&A Wednesday: Just got this question from a viewer today. "Did you do your flight training in Northern Virginia?"
Answer: Sure did! I did all of my flight training with AeroElite out of Leesburg Airport (KJYO), a great school with awesome instructors. Took me about 9 months in all to get my PPL thanks to weather delays. Many, many weather delays. In fact, the forecast for my check ride day - scheduled weeks in advance - was looking downright horrible. The day before I was supposed to go (which happened to be gorgeous, naturally), I was at the office when my instructor suddenly called, telling me the DPE just had a hole open-up in his schedule and could do my check ride that afternoon if I could get to the airport immediately. So I ran out the door, jumped in my car, and headed directly to KJYO from work. With no time to change, I ended-up doing the check ride in my suit (though I ditched the jacket and tie). As the pic below shows, it all worked out just fine, and the DPE even commented that I was the best-dressed student he'd ever passed.
Have a question of your own you'd like answered in a future Q&A Wednesday? Drop it in the comments below!

UPDATE: With the weather forecast taking a turn for the worse, I unfortunately won’t be able to make it to the Leesburg Airshow today. While the rain itself isn’t a major problem, the threat of low clouds presents a serious safety concern. Bummed not to be there, but looking for another chance to connect in person soon. Enjoy your Saturday!

Q&A Wednesday: Had a few folks ask if I had any trouble with security flying into Bridgewater Air Park (KVBW) in the Shenandoah Valley video (the airport’s home to a large government contractor).
Answer: It was a non-event, and if I didn't know better, I would've just assumed I was talking on the radio to a friendly person at the FBO (though note Bridgewater doesn't have an FBO, or any public use facilities at all besides the runway). In fact, they have a Virginia Aviation Ambassador stamp there -- just let security know on the radio you're looking to get your passport stamped and they'll direct you where to go.
Check-out the video of my (very brief) interaction with security at KVBW over on Facebook: www.facebook.com/share/v/16Wpdrz89b/
And if haven't seen it, you can check out the Shenandoah Valley video here: https://youtu.be/Dzabc8RDIE0
