On August 20th, 2008 my instructor Andy and I decided to fly to my home in St. Lawrence County, NY, where I have an FAA approved

heliport. With that in mind, we spent many hours determining the route course and many phone calls to FBO’s for fuel.

Finally, at 3:30 PM we departed

Ellington, CT and made our first stop to Saratoga, NY for fuel and then made arrangements for fuel at Piseco, NY which is an airport in the Adirondack mountains. The view was so spectacular that we took many beautiful pictures of the Adirondack’s, to include a spectacular picture of the Saranac Airport with 26NE with the mountains behind.

Andy and I then flew to my private heliport and arrived at 8:30 PM with many friends, family and guests to welcome us. We then flew to Ogdensburg, NY and the Utica Airport for fuel.

We finally arrived back safely to Ellington, CT at 1:30 AM. Andy and I had a very fun time and were amazed by the fantastic sites.

I don’t think we broke a school records because of trips back and forth to the RHC factory, but this cross country was 490 NM round trip.

Thank you again, Northeast Helicopters and John and Rhonda
