After Dark: The Atlantic City Night Fly-Out
02.12.26
There’s something different about flying at night. Sharper focus, smoother air, and a cockpit that feels equal parts calm and electric. Add the glow of Manhattan, a towered arrival into Atlantic City (KACY), and a planned night out with fellow pilots—and you’ve got After Dark: The Atlantic City Night Fly-Out.
On Thursday, March 5th, we’ll depart Westchester County Airport (KHPN) in the mid-to-late afternoon, route for an iconic Hudson River “tour” (weather/ATC permitting), and head to Atlantic City International (KACY) for an evening at The Borgata, with an optional group dinner at B‑Prime, before returning home late evening. Come join us!
