Sunday, May 9th - Hometown Tour - Western New York State

We begin at the Genesee County - Batavia Airport then fly over a number of Points of Interest related to my 18 years of living in Batavia. (After 18 winters of being subjected to 'the lake effect' I decided to make my way into the world, made possible by the US Navy and rarely 'went home' again.)

From Batavia we will follow the Tonowanda Creek as it winds its way westward to empty into the Niagara River. Then a visit to Niagara Falls and a run down the river gorge with numerous bridges to test your fast and low journey. We will follow the river from the falls to where it empties into Lake Ontario.

A turn to the east and we follow the southern shore of the lake until we reach Rochester, NY, situated 30 miles NE from Batavia. Then it is on to explore the Finger Lakes region, beginning with a flight down Cayuga Lake to Ithica, home to Cornell University.

From Ithica we will fly to Watkins Glenn, noted for its race track. This puts us at the southern end of Seneca Lake. A flight 'up the lake' takes us to Geneva and a turn to the west will position us at Canandaigua and the Lake of the same name. Then west to enable a flight north between the smaller Hemlock and Canadice Lakes.

A short hop to the west to the northern end of Cannesus Lake for a run down it and position ourselves for a brief tour of the
Genesee River Gorge and Letchworth State Park. We then head 'home' to KGVQ, flying over Leroy, a village that I frequented on Friday nights while in High School for a Square Dance.
