Sunday, we had a relaxed morning and did some hiking. After lunch we headed out. Our first stop was in Hot Springs, VA at Ingalls Field (HSP). This is the highest airport east of the Mississippi River, with an elevation of 3793 ft. A Citation jet took off just after we landed and another arrived while we were getting ready to go. This is a small, but busy airport. From Ingalls, we headed straight for the Warrenton Airpark, to show off the new plane. Then we flew by the Flying Circus Aerodrome before heading over to the Warrenton County Airport (HWY) where the plane will be based for now.
All in all, it was a fun trip and we accomplished almost everything we planned to (we missed out on Death Valley), but we had some other unplanned adventures. Both of us are happy about the way the trip turned out. And there's always next year for Death Valley and the other things we couldn't fit into this trip!
