PhotoStories 15: Boston International Airport

PhotoStories 15.        Each of photos has its own story. Especially the one you get from the plane. We offer to you a new series of PhotoStories taken by the USA 2016 expediton. Today story of the Boston International Airport photo. 

Flying over big commercial airports requires a bit of preparations and a lot of discipline. In the USA your request to fly over such airport is usually accepted by the controller but he/she expects you to stick to the exact routing and altitude of your flight.

Also, you have to react promptly to any instructions you may receive from the controller during your transition of the TMA/CTR. If the controller realizes that you have a problem with this, then he/she can refuse your request.

This photo was taken during our overflight of Boston – Logan International Airport. At first, we were refused the permission to fly over it on grounds of heavy traffic but some minutes later the controller returned to us and let us do it. The photo was taken in September 2016 during the closing part of our flight expedition “Around the USA”.
