The Adventure Continues ~ Flight to Bowman Airfield

The flight to Bowman Airfield in Livermore, Maine was an adventure! With clear skies in Bethel, the pilots anticipated an easy flight over to Livermore where the weather was predicted to be clear. Just a few miles shy from their destination, they ran into heavy fog and were forced to land in someone's backyard. Thankfully they were greeted with smiles and actually made the owner's day. Shortly after, the crew was picked up by the drivers and shuttled over to the airport. A fine example of piloting skill and good judgment. Great job pilots! Take off from BethelWhat a sight to see - six PPCs in the air at once!
