    Pretty serious wind shifts out over the Atlantic. If you're "riding the barber pole" on the next leg, keep a close eye on it...

    DGTK has no lights but sits in the middle of a brightly lit town on the coast. Watch for buildings! Should be a piece of cake for you skilled pilots. :friday:

    EDIT: as an alternate I guess DGAA would work with a fast GA. 225mi. with all the amenities. Only adds 4mi to route...unless you want the challenge!!
    -John-

    Drat! Caught a tree at the end of the rwy. Lots of packages all over the place. Thanks for the wx anyways JC.

    Baton is free back at FHAW.
