Just landed at Buckhannon, WV - - about 45 minutes out from Leesburg. Spending the night here, and heading into JYO after the hotel breakfast tomorrow morning.

Still not sure where to taxi once I land. Unless I hear otherwise, I will head for the Kuhn Jet Center.

JP - - I will text you my anticipated arrival time tomorrow morning for my flight to JYO. Orange and brown V-tail Bonanza. N4585D 210-834-1991

Arrived around 4:30pm EDT. I'm checked in at the hotel. Very nice and what a view outside my room of the courtyard. Probably the same as everyone else’s. Anyone else arriving today?
