Quick with the draw guys! But Goose Lake is right. I'm about ten/fifteen miles north of Atlantic City and just turned back south back for KMIV. The Stratotanker likely is shuttling from Atlantic City Intl. to McGuire AFB, or was practicing approaches into McGuire. They're beautiful airplanes...

Cruising through the Pinelands again recently and I remembered how some of you guys would like to see if you can pin point where I am within them. Here's a shot with a hint that could spoil it. Off in the distance, about a mile west of my plane is a KC10 Stratotanker. Given his direction, where...

First off thanks for the huge bit of information there. It definitely summed up everything I've questioned about Coyle, and the area around it. If you notice theres a magenta "fence" with the letters "A-220" and blue fenced areas with "R-5002 A&F" on my sectional. These two areas are designated...

Polished aluminum you say? If the aircraft is completely polished aluminum then she is Miss Hap for sure! The sound of the radials sends chills through the spine. Like beautiful music from a bygone era ;)

There are quite a few B-25s still operational in the US. The ones that I can think of that are close to here I think are based in Delaware, one is in Stow, Mass., and one is at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum in Pennsylvania. I know which aircraft you're talking about though, but I can't remember...

Yep! I learned to fly/rent the planes from Big Sky Aviation on the field. It's a great place to fly in and out of. I feel for you guys though, those Army Chinooks landing and taking off make a ton of noise!

That seems odd, I'd be curious to find that out. It's hard to affirmatively say what it could've been. With so many strange things going on at airports sometimes it's impossible to tell. Maybe it was a target for drop-practice? For all we know it could've just been put there because it was a...

Nothing beats kayaking out on a quiet pond out there, absolute silence except for the stuff you want to hear of course! Great shot by the way, describes the pinelands really well.

Don't worry guys, I know my aviation regulations pretty well, and I know I'd probably get chewed pretty good if they got my tail number, which isn't hard to do since it's painted on the side of the aircraft. It's something everyone knows NOT to do, but everyone DREAMS of doing ;) It's still an...

The plane is a Cessna 172, which is a high-wing airplane in which the wing is over top of the cabin. This permits better ground clearance and a better look around at scenery. It's a tiny little plane, but it gets the job done and it's a great plane to fly all around. Hammonton is a great...

I've flown over Coyle a few times during my trips through the Pinelands. From what I know, Coyle is used solely as a forest fire-fighting strip, and is otherwise off limits to general aviation and transient aircraft. The strip looks like it would be fun to land on, being just a few sand (go...

Guy, that's a great idea, I'll definitely do that the next time I'm up. You guys could probably help me out too, because when I'm flying along I fly visually, with no flight plan or destination I occasionally forget about using maps too (I can only go so far south before I hit the bay, right?)...

Just the thing to listen to on a cold winter's night like tonight. Thanks a lot for this, especially since it's hard to get out to the Pinelands as often as I'd like. It's like you're right in the middle of the Lake Atison.

Hi everyone. I figured since I just started here a staggering....seven minutes ago, I'd do my part and create a post here. I just recently got my pilot's license about a month ago, which around where I live is never heard of, especially at my age (eighteen in two weeks...). I've spent more than...
