Baby’s First Flight: Christmas 2021

[201er]

It’s a family tradition to go flying on Christmas. This year baby Steven joins the tradition on his very first flight. Taking my newly painted Mooney M20J for stunning views around the city made it even better.

Steven recently turned one year old and it was finally time for his first flight! He did great and had a blast!

 

Took off from Linden (KLDJ), crossed Staten Island and the Verrazano Bridge, flew circles around the Freedom Tower and proceeded up the East River, crossed Central Park and the George Washington Bridge. South on the Hudson past the Empire State Building and back to Linden. Sunset gave way to night and it was the perfect way to end 2021 with family, flight, and fun!

That was awesome!  Someday you will enjoy watching  that first flight again with Steven.

I guess ATC was accommodating.

Amazing flight! Thank you for sharing. I've only managed to fly the Hudson in the daytime and the city lights seem to make it a completely different experience at night.
