VH-KDK Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I chose the nearest Global Freeware airport to KACK for a short flight. I didn't even look up the name. 1. The obligatory few images at KACK. I am a little out of place with the 172 against the biz jets. 2. Another clear day as far as visibility goes but a little overcast. 3. Climbing away with the airport buildings seen here. 4. The boat storage at Nantucket Marine. 5. The Cessna is over Hummock Pond with Clark Cove to the right. 6. Eel Point 7. Tuckernuck Island with MA72 airstrip. 8. Now at Martha's Vinyard and over MA44 Tradewind strip. 9. KMVY. 10. Making a 180 at West Tisbury to land on rwy 06. 11. Not too many biz jets here today. 16500 people live here with the population swelling to over 100,000 in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't one of the Kennedys flying to Martha's Vineyard when disaster struck? Regards Don Thank you Don. Well remembered about JFK Junior. I have seen the Air Crash Investigation episode regarding the accident but I had forgotten he was flying to Martha's Vinyard. Also his uncle, Ted, was involved in a fatal accident at Chappaquiddick, which is linked to Martha's Vinyard by bridge, in 1969. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bermuda425 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Terrifidaculous shots from this island hop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 You nailed it Martyn, wonderful tour. Martha's has a lot of history, named after President Washington's wife Martha. And to live there, well unless you're extremely wealthy forget it. It's the San Fransisco of the east coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewies Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Nice grouping of shots. There's a good amount of detail at the Martha's Vineyard airport. Once again the Orbx Freeware team delivers an airport worth checking out. Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only rich people food, a plate with food that’s “gourmet” yet its microscopic in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Lars Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Wonderful set of images, Martyn, that reminds me of FS98 (or was it FS2002?) when I did a nice flight there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
