Day 1
Hello all, today has been amazing ! We departed right on time (Rolling and Wheels Up at 9:00AM) from our Home base of Luray Caverns Airport. We had Great Coverage from Avery Powell from TV3 News, Harrisonburg and we had a small group that came to see us off ! All of our planned Photo targets turned out Great …… Check out the Photos Below. We was treated with red carpet type treatment at both Airports we landed at today (I will be posting a new page soon called ….. Airports we land At)
Tonight we are in New Orleans along Lake Pontchartrain and tomorrow our destination will be Pecos Texas ! Thanks so much again for following us around the Country and John and I hope you enjoy the Pictures.
