Hey Vic
2nd pic, You flew over Three-mile Island (Airport Middletown in Harrisburg, PA)?
Cool, so did I back in '81 (RW) in a rented C172. I was doing closed circuits, BUT, I was sticking my wing right down the stacks (3Mile) on my base turn and taking pictures (above 500??? of course). Well, that made the locals very nervous and TMI (Gov) called the MDT Tower and asked me not to get so close.
MDT Tower: "Cessna Nxxxx, Please extend your downwind or cut your pattern short so that you don't make those people down there at 3 Mile Island nervous!"
No one came out to visit my plane when I landed, but I was looking for them!
