During my last PIREP, Flyguy mentioned he likes Nashua, KASH as his base. As I was checking my Air Hauler job list, I saw a flight from KACK to KASH, so figured might as well take a quick trip out there 
.
The flight from Nantucket to Nashua is a short 114 mile run. There is some cargo going to Nashua, and then a small load going further on to our base in Burlington, Vermont. I'm going to take our company Pilatus PC-12 for this job. Lately, I've been spending most of my time flying our King Airs and B1900. Since I'm a little rusty on the PC-12, I have our company PC-12 pilot, Francesca Bennett, fly along with me. I have some business in Boston, so Ms. Bennett can take the PC-12 on to Burlington, and I'll hitch a ride home from Boston on one of our scheduled passenger flights to Nantucket.
I file an IFR flight plan for 14,000 feet. Weather looks pretty good. It's low clouds over Nantucket as has been the usual lately, but it looks to be clearing out over Boston and Nashua. Our cargo is loaded up and ready to go for a morning departure.
On the ramp ready for departure. Sharing ramp space with Cape Air, which operates numerous scheduled passenger flights around the area with their fleet of Cessna 402s.
Getting cleaned up on departure.
En-route, just north of Hyannis over Cape Cod Bay. We are back over water and hugging the coast before we cross over Boston.
Flying over Boston. The cloud cover has thinned considerably from when we first took off.
Air traffic control starts bringing me down. I'm cleared for the GPS Runway 14 approach via the MUGGY transition.
On the final approach to Runway 14. No cloud cover, the approach is totally clear.
Parked on the ramp. Some ground crew are here waiting to get our cargo unloaded. Ms. Bennett will continue on to Burlington with the rest of our cargo. Meanwhile, I go find the rental car counter to get some transport to Boston.
