Sunset over the Lake

[chipj29]

My son recently got his private pilots license. Friday night he took me from Concord to Laconia airport and back. We took off at 8 and were back by 9. Got some decent pics as the sun goes down. These were all taken with an iphone, so the quality is not terrific. The sunset was way more red/pink as these pictures make it out to be.
Picture 1-the view of the beginning of the sunset in Concord
Picture 2-heading northeast towards Alton
Picture 3-heading over Alton Bay towards Rattlesnake Island and the Broads
Picture 4-the Mount looks pretty small as it chugs through the Broads
Picture 5-Alton Bay looking towards the southwest
Picture 6-looking towards Center Harbor I think
Picture 7-the Mount off in the distance

Yes, it was great. Very beautiful scene over the lake.
Not to mention that it was my first time flying in such a small plane (Skyhawk). And it was also my first time flying with my 19 year old son.
Priceless.

Did your son take his lessons in Concord or Laconia??

I have been taking lessons at Emerson in Laconia (on temporary hiatus due to shoulder injury) and it is so beautiful to fly over the lake.

Love your pics!! Thank you for sharing!!

Thanks Dan. He took his lessons in Concord.
He is doing great with it too. Paid for all his lessons himself by working at Concord Airport. His next step is to head to ATP flight school in Florida. I am proud of him working hard to achieve his goal of becoming a private pilot.

That's great Chip! He sounds like a very motivated young man! A rare trait these days. You should be proud!!
