July 27, 2008: Round Robin

My objective for the morning was a simple one: navigate to three unfamiliar airports and practice landing at each. Some of my recent landings were decidedly sub-par and it was time to nip some bad habits in the bud. But I also love to explore and decided to satisfy both urges by choosing three unfamiliar airports whose names I hear on Unicom nearly every time I fly: Finger Lakes Regional (Seneca Falls, NY), Whitfords (Weedsport, NY), and Cortland (Cortland, NY)

The outlet mall in Waterloo, NY.

I was inspired to write quite a bit more about this day, but it was a bit much for the photo blog.
