I had Thursday off as my compressed day, but decided to go in to work and take Friday off instead. Someone reminded me on Thursday that it was going to be Friday the 13th, which is when all of the bikers flock to Port Dover. I figured it would be a pretty interesting fly-over. Mind you, the airspace was restricted to above 3500′, so I was quite thankful for my camera with the good zoomage factor. The flight there was really nice and smooth. I headed down toward Highway 3 to see if I could see many bikers heading into Port Dover. There were quite a few, mostly in groups. When I made it to Port Dover, I was blown away at the view. There were TONS of bikers! Check it out:
I actually flew around for about 20 minutes, snapping pictures:
They were doing helicopter tours as well:
Tons of people were camped out from the day before:
It really was a neat experience! Perfect weather for it, too. I’m not too big on crowds, so I was quite happy to be well above everyone.
The flight home was a little more lumpy and bumpy, due to the clouds rolling in. I flew over the plant in Nanticoke and took a zoomed in shot of the smoke stack:
I had another great day today. Chuck and I went over to Buffalo to do some shopping. We were mostly looking for clothes that matched my plane. It was really hard to find orange tee-shirts! Most of them were V-necks, which I’m not too struck on. I don’t like to accentuate my lack of cleavage.
Today’s symptoms: I haven’t had this much energy in months! It was so great! I’ll probably pay for it tomorrow, but it was well worth it.
