Sixth of a series… near the peak of foliage season (mid-October) we decided to fly from Boston to Bar Harbor, Maine, following the shoreline, in a Robinson R44 helicopter. Tony Cammarata was in back with a door removed (frosty!) and a Nikon D850. Instrument student Vince Dorow was with me in the front seats.
Portland, Maine:
Thanks to MAC Jets for the great stop, as usual, and for the crew car that enabled us to take Tony on his first visit to Tony’s Donut Shop:
Some fabulous yachts there, wow. Any BLM posters on them?
It looks like the boat business is doing well in Portland, ME. Most of the slips are occupied. Also zero traffic congestion. Maybe this is an ideal New England city?
It looks like they’re doing major reconstruction on the Maine Medical Center, also. And it has TWO helipads! So anyone in the Portland area knows they have a big hospital with twin helipads available for emergencies.
