I am thinking of taking a week or so and fly south. Would appreciate any
recommendations of places to go, esp. interesting scenary or historical
interest (that is near an airport.....).

Right now my vague plans include..


.. a ride down the Hudson Valley Corridor past Manhattan.
.. fly down the NJ coast, perhaps stop at Cape May
.. stay along the coast, east of Washington DC
.. stop at Tangier Island in the Chesapeake Bay?
.. west past Charlottesville, stop at Luray Caverns.... (yes I know it is
tacky, been there twice by car)
.. aerial tour of Shenandoah Valley

Excellent routing. Nothing beats flying along the coast on a clear
day. There are many interesting airports along the sho Bader, Cape
May, Ocean City, MD, Accomack, etc... In Maryland, don't miss the
crab cakes. In Virginia, it' the ham. One thing about Tangier though:
please read the comments on AirNav and be careful if you land a Mooney
there. About the Appalachians, they are not very high, but they can
bite you if you don't give them due respect. Something about rising
terrain and lowering ceiling. Have a nice trip.
