Yesterday, November 7, 2017, Boeing C-97 "Angel of Deliverance" lifted off from Floyd Bennett Field, becoming the last fixed wing aircraft to fly out of there.
It had an uneventful flight to MJX (Robert J. Miller Airpark) in Berkeley Township, NJ for a fuel and PR stop.
At about 1:15PM, the "Angel" took off again for Reading Regional Airport. At around 1:45, she touched down at Reading ending yet another trouble free flight.

What do we need? Funding Funding Funding!
