Of course, the pictures don't do the flight justice (they never do),
but this year -- once feared to be a real "dud" for fall colors -- has
turned out to be quite beautiful here in Iowa.

In the Northeast US, the weather has really ruined this fall. Last Tuesday
ended a ten day rainy, low cloud and moderate-to-strong wind streak and
tomorrow begins another week's worth of the same.

I caught a glimpse of peaking colors last Monday when I broke through a
2,500 ft overcast on approach into my destination airport. The view merely
whetted my appetite for more, but alas, it will have to wait until next
year. By the time the Northeast has another VFR day, the brilliant red,
gold, and yellow will have been replaced with dull brown, grey, and purple
of trees that either completely lost their leaves or just about to do so.
