20100627 Departing KMQI
This is my taxi and departure from Manteo, NC (KMQI). With the hot weather I wanted to get airborne as quickly as possible, so I departed VFR and activated my IFR flight plan in the air. (I'd be talking to the same controller anyway. Listen up for the Pilatus activating his IFR plan from the ground. You see this plane at the beginning of my taxi.) The Washington Center (ZDC) controller was rather busy this day and it took him a while to get around to giving me my clearance.
