A beautiful day for a 500ish nm flight from JYO to BOS in the turbine Duke.  The trip takes about 2 hours chock to chock.

Part 1 is most of the flight, and part 2 is the landing and plane spotting!

A fine morning at Leesburg Executive

A quick taxi out for departure on runway 35.  Routing today is KJYO JFK ORW WOONS2 KBOS

I took an intersection because we just have too much power lol

About 3500 fpm climb rate at 160 kias - not too shabby

Potomac tracon is working hard to get us on course and up and away to center

Washington Dulles IAD in the background / Potomac River

Center told us we'd get this more direct route if we stayed out of the high stratum (FL240 and above) - normally I'd go to FL250-280 depending on direction

I believe the airport near the nose is Martin State KMTN

Superb morning lighting looking north west towards PA

Overhead Philly

Everyone knows where I am now...

The Big Apple of course!

Heading out over Long Island as we progress towards ORW

The air is quite calm here at FL230

Passing New Haven, CT (KHVN)

Starting down we'll cross JEWIT at 110 and WOONS at 070 landing BOS

Here's the STAR along with metar we're checking out

Some happy clouds along the way

Being vectored for the visual RWY 33L.... Part 2 awaits!!

 

You're keeping busy! And obviously enjoying every minute. 🙂 Great shots and chatter.

A really nice trip...Ryan...One I would have liked to do on the road once-upon-a-time...🙂...

Like your choice of city pairs...This Turbine Duke looks good and well-equipped avionics-wise....

Very nice Ryan, we can tell you love the higher-end Business Aircraft. I assume these are the aircraft you handle as a controller.

Awesome pictures! The TDuke is such a cool airplane.
