Quick Trip to Shenandoah

A few days after my Women Can Fly event wrapped up, the weather cooperated enough for Dave and I to fly some signs and supplies over to Shenandoah Airport for their upcoming Women Can Fly event. We met at the airport in the morning, wrapped up the preflight, and took off.

We climbed up to get above the ridges, which also gave us a great view of the absolutely gorgeous weather. The visibility was stunning.  :)

I think it may have been one of the few times I've flown with Dave where we weren't really talking about much because we were both just sitting there, soaking in the views.


We crossed the ridge line and started making our way down the valley toward the airport.


Looking back to the east; most of that is Shenandoah National Park.

It didn't take long to get to SHD.

I loved the bright green of the fields as we descended on final.   :)

Dave landed just fine, and we parked between two jets on the ramp. This picture doesn't really do justice to how pretty the view is from their ramp.

We went inside, dropped off the things we had brought, talked with a few people in the FBO, then made our way back to the plane to head home.

Bye, SHD!   :)

Visibility was still spectacular as we flew home. If I didn't have to go to work that afternoon, I would have just kept flying all day.

Dave's airplane is a bit faster than mine, but the tailwind certainly helped, too!

We crossed back over the ridges and made it back to HWY just fine. It had been a great morning for the quick trip!
