We depart Eastern Slope Regional Airport in Fryeburg, Maine, from Runway 32.
This runway heading puts Lovewell Pond off to our right. Hunting comes into view off our right wing followed by Fryeburg Academy and the fairgrounds as we climb out and exit the traffic pattern. Banking slightly left brings us over the Saco River and Sherman Farm glides under our wings as we level off.
