January 16, 2024 - Fly to Hammonton Muni Airport, NJ for Breakfast

It was cold today, low 30's, but we decided to fly somewhere for lunch.  Our choice was the Apron Cafe at Hammonton Airport in New Jersey.  This would be our second time in a month at the newly discovered airport restaurant.

Here we our winging our way ove the snow-covered fields of the Eastern Shore.
   
We had four RVs:  myself, Chuck, Brian and Mark.  Chuck makes a good lead, since has Arnold Palmer (autopilot) take control, and be steady and smooth.
