Since the weather was decent yesterday I figured I'd stay on the Jersey side of Manhattan, rather than heading out to FRG as I'd considered, and went west to do some spotting out at Somerset Airport (SMQ) and Central Jersey Regional Airport (47N). Activity was a little slow, and I couldn't make a whole day of it like I'd wanted, but I still managed to get some photos.
SMQ
King Air rolling down the runway for takeoff:

After the King Air, the only thing going on was a Skyhawk doing some takeoffs and landings, despite the crosswind.
First try at landing ended up being a go-around:

Picking up speed for a takeoff:

47N
I decided to check out 47N (Central Jersey Regional), but it was even less busy than Somerset had been. I didn't really explore the area too much, as to whether there's more parking further up the road, but from the "near" lot the photo angle isn't great.
I caught this Skyhawk landing, and got this photo as he taxied off in front of me.
