Boston, MA (USA)

Had an early brief, so I got up at 0600L. Matt had everything ready to go early but our plane ended up having lots of maintenance problems. Eventually got going (about an hour late) and made our way to Camp Springs. It was clear as we departed the Philadelphia area that the weather up the East Coast would be a big factor all day. Met our lift when we landed, so we took off for Boston. I haven't flown into Logan Airport in nearly 20 years - and this was my first flight there in the front. Weather was really bad - we had to hold for about half an hour near a thunderstorm (controllers very helpful). On approach, we broke out close to minimums and found lots of rain (cold & windy, too). FBO very accommodating and we made it out of there nearly back on our planned schedule. Flight back to Willow Grove took us out over the ocean and then down low over the Jersey Shore (very bumpy). Highest winds I've ever seen there! Even though it was only about 1400L when we landed, I spent the rest of the day indoors. The news kept talking about wind advisories and severe weather coming to the area (temperatures definitely much lower!). Ate leftovers in my room at the Willow Grove Navy Lodge and watched some TV.
