Bellanca-Champion Fly-in at Pottstown Muni, PA

 

 

I'm off to the Bellanca-Champion Club East Coast fly-in at Pottstown, PA. Unfortunately, today is Sunday and the main day was yesterday, but I figure I'll go see what is going on anyways.

Once I got north of the Chesapeake Bay, it turned into a beautiful day. The visibility was unbelievable. 50+ miles. I'm not kidding. Those nuclear cooling towers ahead are in Pottstown, and I'm 50 miles away according to the GPS! Makes navigation pretty easy, doesn't it?
Overhead Pottstown Muni. Doesn't look like there are many Citabrias down there.
There were three Citabrias when I arrived.
But a couple more showed up after I did. There was nothing going on. All the events were for the previous day. I just looked around and at the other Citabrias, then left.
I flew low over this amazing valley on the way home. These pictures don't do it justice. It was almost magical. Large expanses of grassy areas, trees, a stream, beautiful estates.
It's just unusual to see areas like this that aren't filled up with houses, or crops, or forests. I wonder what this place is?
