Aug 2009 Flight Around Michigan
By Judy Birchler, host of LadiesLoveTaildraggers.com
Since I love an adventure, and my husband is willing to join me in anything that involves flying in an airplane, we decided to take 3 days and try to fly the shoreline all the way around the state of Michigan. We made the trip this past weekend, trading the pilot seat back and forth, but had to cut some corners to get back home before the thunderstorms moved in.  We accomplished our goal, albeit with a modified flight plan and incredible headwinds most of the time. Here’s just a few pictures of our trip around the “mitten” with overnights in Alpena on the Lake Huron side and Traverse City on the Lake Michigan side.
