June 14, 20205 yr COVID-19 has created some fairly unique opportunities for GA pilots. The shots below are from a flight I made this morning. I was cleared through the Charlotte class bravo at 4500 MSL. Normally ATC will route GA traffic over the top of Charlotte-Douglas International (KCLT). Today they cleared me on my direct route to destination, which put me cutting diagonally through the arrival corridor...in a C172, so it took me about 15 minutes to clear the arrival box. I asked the controller if he was sure he didn't want me to fly over KCLT, and he confirmed that they didn't have ANY arrivals for the next 30 minutes. Although it is cool to fly over areas of Charlotte that I never thought I would, I've got to admit, I will be happy when things have recovered and commercial jets are once again filling the sky 😢 Charlotte skyline with Charlotte-Douglas just beyond: Starting my traversal of the arrivals corridor: Carowinds amusement park - directly under the final approach to the 36s: Chris
