This is an IFR Flight from Lehigh Valley International in Allentown, PA to Sky Manor, NJ. This flight includes some IMC and a very Hazy Day due to the Canadian wild-fire smoke. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike is an Instrument Rated Private Pilot who started his aviation experience at Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ in 1990. After a break from flying while attending the US Naval Academy, serving in the US Army (yes there’s a story there too), transitioning to the civilian work force and raising a family, renewed his love of aviation in the Philadelphia area and received his instrument rating in 2007. He belongs to a flying club out of Northeast Philadelphia Airport (KPNE) and recently became an airplane owner with a Piper Tomahawk based out of Doylestown, PA (KDYL). *This video is for entertainment purposes only and should not be used as an educational video.
