Does a turkey burger count?

So if I go flying somewhere new and eat a turkey burger, does that still count as a $100 Hamburger trip? It was yummy for sure. Here look:


Climbing to cruise altitude as we wing our way west towards BEH (Benton Harbor)



This pic shows how the haze can have a defined "top".


Lined up on final approach. This was a straight in, which I usually avoid doing at uncontrolled airports, but on that particular day it made the most sense. If you squint you can see the runway hiding behind the prop blur just below the shoreline.


Here is the old control tower at Benton Harbor airport which operated from 1973 until 1981

Nice pictures! Ever since I got my airline job I've never been back up in a GA airplane. The closest I got was a EMB-120 flight from SFO to MRY and I slept most the time anyway.

I'm glad you are still out there flying around and taking pictures...and eating hamburgers, too!

Keep flying!
