Today before Ron dropped us off at the airport, we stopped for lunch at a deli in New Cumberland, PA. Well, look who happened by, Zia and Emily. When we raced in 2012, they were the first racers we met in Gallup, NM on the way to the race and today, the last racers we saw after this race. Their theme is Rosie the Riveter.
We also visited a local park and walked through the beautiful flowers. Ron made a new friend,
Our real excitement of the day was flying through the Washington, DC area SFRA. We carefully reviewed our sectional and before we flew in this race we took an AOPA online course to familiarize ourselves with the special flight rules. We were on an IFR flight plan but it was an intense flight because of all the rules. We waved to the pres when we flew by.
We were happy to land at Williamsburg, VA. We landed to see grass growing in the cracks on the taxiway and, to our delight, we saw three deer at the end of the runway (they were on the side of the runway and took off when they heard our engine purring). Sorry we didn't get a photo. We plan to park for a day and see the sights of historic Wiliamsburg.
We thought we needed at least one selfie.
