At the request of @Stargazer_Avation , I am flying to Trenton today!



Pushing back right on time on this cloudy Sunday afternoon


With a light load today, we got into the air quickly


Climbing out past the world’s busiest airport, where we started our journey just a few minutes ago


Cruising near Greenville, South Carolina (@Poxy summon)


Near Fredericksburg, Virginia, along the border with Maryland


Just west of Washington, D.C. You can see Joint Base Andrews and DCA in this shot!


Descending past Philadelphia International Airport


A very windy final approach into Trenton


Welcome to the Garden State!

Lakes aren’t oceans buddy, Minnesota doesn’t have true beaches

Nice pics either way, I flew into TTN in game like a few months ago and might return especially when it’s 3D!

We definitely have beaches, including one of the best in the nation (source).

Said Minnesota Beaches



They’re not, but a “beach” is just “a strip of land covered with sand, pebbles, or small stones at the edge of a body of water, especially by the ocean between high- and low-water marks.” So anything along a river, stream, ocean, lake, or pond constitutes a beach. Also, standing on the shores of some of our lakes, especially Lake Superior, you really couldn’t tell it’s a lake.

At least ours, California’s and Hawaii’s beaches on actual oceans btw can be enjoyed year round :wink:

Going to a beach and swimming in fresh water rather than salt water is extremely awkward lol

You’ve clearly never heard of polar plunges.

A very nice city indeed.

I have a request. Are you taking?

I remember watching Peppa Pig when I was 5-6 years old and the teacher went into the ocean (or sea as they call it) despite it being cold and everybody else refusing to get in

So I pretty much know what that is

The only problem is that those beaches are frozen for half the year anyways

YESSSSS TTNNNNNNNNNN!

also do you have a screenshot of your route? if you came from the SE, you went over my house

It looks lovely from 37,000 feet.

Absolutely

Polar plunges are a big thing here. Like hundreds of people do it at once lol. I’ve done one - never again, not for me. But they’re suposedly good for you.

They’re quite pretty in the snow and ice though.

I’ll definitely be visiting again!

I don’t unfortunately. I do know that I was on the JIIMS4 STAR with a ZJAAY transition, then landing on Runway 6.

Do I smell Minnesota glaze? (Jk)
Awesome photos!

Your wish is my command!

Do you know something we don’t?

Hmmm… maybe just a little

And Lake Michigan, the amount of times I’ve heard ppl call it the ocean is… absurd

The Great Lakes do look and feel very oceanic. I feel like Lake Superior looks like Coastal Maine or something; even the towns along the water’s edge have a North Atlantic vibe.

I never knew they had Peppa Pig in the US until a few days ago. Did the characters have an American accent or did the channel keep the British accent?

Beautiful photos Trenton is such a fun little Airport! Its number one on my list for when the A320Neo comes out since Trenton only receives the A320Neo irl!

I watched it on Nick Jr. (not sure if it aired on any other channels) but from what I remember it was still the same as the UK version or maybe a bit altered but not that much
