Friend of mine is an instructor at the airport outback of where I work. He came in today and said, "hey, the mechanic just finished up the motor to an airplane and I need to take it up for a test flight and to break it in, wanna go?" I couldn't say no to the idea of an engine that may or may not have issues that wont be found until after we take it up. Sign me up!

We were limited to 1000 feet, but that was low enough to get some cool shots.
USNA is a really pretty school from the air. I just wish I had more heads up so I could have taken my SLR with wide angle lens. Sadly I had nothing but my Iphone for taking pictures. =(
P.S James this is about 20 miles from Baltimore and 25 miles from DC, check out just how chitty the area is and how much crime has run it down.
