Ash and I took the Archer to KIJD this morning. It’s a small airport in Northern Connecticut. The flight out was uneventful, the air seemed pretty calm at that time of day. We landed without issue and found a parking place on the ramp. We took a short walk down the street to the Aero Diner. A small 50’s diner where we had breakfast. The food was typical diner food, and we enjoyed the meal. The staff was very busy, but courteous. Afterwards we headed back to the airport and took off for our flight back to Marshfield. We were unable to get flight following, seems like the Memorial Day air traffic had caught up with controllers and we were kicked off with ATC. No big deal, we just kept our eyes open and headed home. The air was a bit more bouncy on the way home, but no big deal. Some slight gusting on landing made the touchdown a little more bouncy than usual, but nothing uncomfortable. All in all it was a fun day for flying.
