Our next stop was in Youngstown, Ohio for a bite to eat and to shoot until sunset before continuing on to Detroit.  The city was hit particularly hard, at the height of the recession the unemployment rate was soaring into the teens and is now down to roughly 10%.  Just like most cities in the rust belt, Youngstown is struggling to reinvent itself.

We woke up the following morning bright and early and left for the Northumberland County airport.  Little did Jordyn know, I had arranged to meet up with my friend Brent and his family who were taking rides on a stunt biplane.  The photos of which still need to be scanned.  She was the first to go up and instantly looped back around over the runway leaving a trail of smoke and then twisting straight up before flying off into the distance.  After 15-20 minutes of doing barrel rolls, hammerheads, all sorts of twists and turns with a little upside down time she returned to the ground with a huge grin on her face.  We each took a ride before parting ways around 1pm.  After we said goodbye to my family we hit the road for Detroit.  Despite leaving later than planned we made a few pitstops in Pennsylvania to stretch our legs and take some photos.

This Friday Jordyn and I will embark on a 1,600 mile road trip making a loop to through New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Ontario.  Many adventures will ensue beginning with a detour in New York and a visit to my parent's house in Pennsylvania, a couple days in Detroit, and a night in Toronto, before returning to Boston next week.
