| DAY TWO: This day is spent in the mountains of Maine , New Hampshire , and Vermont . From Bangor it’s off to Berlin, NH, then on to one of the most difficult approaches in the Northeast, the LOC/DME05 into Springfield, VT, and then heading for lunch with the HAMMM, BURGR and FRYSS of the ILS 18 into Lebanon , NH . From there we’ll head to Bennington, VT, and Pittsfield, MA, before returning to our starting point of 1B1.
