Cessna 402C, N68752: "The bad news is your vacation is over and you're leaving the island of Martha's Vineyard. The good news is you're leaving on Cape Air!"

The bad news is your vacation is over and you're leaving the island of Martha's Vineyard. The good news is you're leaving on Cape Air, a surprisingly large little airline that flies more than 60 Cessna 402s, not just in New England but in New York, the Midwest, Florida and the Caribbean. (Cape Air also flies ATR-42s in Micronesia as United Express.) There is one pilot, and by virtue of your adult size you get to sit in the right seat. You might be a rusty pilot nerd, but please keep your feet off the rudder pedals and leave the yoke alone.

This is my most recent trip on Cape Air, aboard flight 3161 from Martha's Vineyard to Boston on Sunday, Sept. 2, 2012. Here you will see a visual approach to KBOS runway 4L. The pilot is Sabina C., who that day flew four round trips in N68752 between Martha's Vineyard and Logan International, where Cape Air's ramp is always busy.
