Flying with Dan and Becky


Here's a photo gallery of a recent Boston city tour. My brother Dan was sitting right front seat, and Becky was in the back with the camera. The aircraft is N263ND, a Piper Warrior (PA-28-161) rented from East Coast Aero Club at Hanscom Field in Bedford, MA.

Checking the engine oil level, belts, hoses, mags.


My cousin Dylan, also a pilot, was at the airport that day too.




In we go...
