I wonder who was the guy who came up with the 5 letter designator for this particular waypoint right over an extremely well known landmark ?

About as close as you can get to Pax River without declaring an emergency. But afterwards the Navy would give the Mooney's wing spar the B-29 Museum treatment

There was an on line course the FAA required people to work before flying in this airspace. I kept the Mooney along the planned flight path much closer through here.

Been There, Done That, Skipped the Tee Shirt.

Not too far from Electric Boat.

Further south the weather started closing in. Didn't really feel like getting vectored around unfamiliar airspace IFR through NYC so I diverted to Groton.

Entering the pattern on a left downwind.

My brother in law suggested that as long as I was in the neighborhood, I might as well get a fresh lobster dinner at his favorite seafood restaurant in Portland near where he grew up.
