On the ground at Cumberland airport. There is a fancy terminal building but no airline service right now. Hills rise all around. - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe
The approach for runway 5 passes over these hills. - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe

The Chesapeake and Ohio canal (now filled in here) and towpath is down the hill and across the Potomac (in Cumberland, MD). - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe
So is this a spot where the canal actually crossed a tributary into the Potomac on a bridge? I don't know. - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe

The airport is up the hill, along with the typical airport diner. - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe
The airport is technically in Wiley Ford, West Virginia. - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe
Heading back. Some bigger cumulus buildups to the west (might turn into very isolated tstorms). - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe

I think this is I76. It dissapears into a tunnel and comes out on the other side (the angle wasn't right to get that). - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe
The haze was very extreme over PA here. Hills poke up out of the haze layer well beneath me (I am at 7,5000 feet). It is clear, cool, and visibility is good and legal VFR at my altitude. - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe
Scuddy haze extends beneath the few clouds with darker clouds towards NJ and the coast. - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe
1 hour down, 2 to go, headwinds of around 10 knots at this location. - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe

Angrier clouds to the east over NJ. - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe
I'd be diverting around that one if I had to! Fortunately, my course takes me to the left of it already. - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe
Climbed to 9,500 as some of the cumulus buildings were higher over northern PA. Colder up here. By the NY/CT state line the temp at 9,500 was down to 40 degrees. - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe

Almost no more lower clouds as I came up on the Hudson River Valley, but the haze is ever present. Horizon position is deceptive. This picture really shows how I am above the haze layer. Forward visibility was excellent. - Copyright (c) 2012 Daniel Noe
