Is that Albert Whitted (KSPG) in the distance ?, it's on my list of places to visit when I'm back in FL next month.

I agree 100% Foreflight & Stratus 2 is a great investment. I was flying with a G1000 panel for a couple of years but circumstances meant I had to change planes and go back to steam panel, I was pretty depressed at the losing my glass gizmo, but I have to say after flying with FF & the Stratus...

My input to this thread regarding stretchy leggings will simply be two words ......"camel toe" ;)

Welcome to the forum, if you are on Facebook look up "Jamie Beckett " He is a regional AOPA ambassador based in Central Florida and very active traveling around Florida helping Pilots form clubs, he may have something on the go in South Florida, he's very helpful and worth seeking out for...

I'm 67 going on 68....what's this word "Retirement" you speak of ?

Not really any "gotchas" that I'm aware of, I flew over to Merritt Island a couple of weeks back, if winds favor 29 they are busy with construction work right at the end of the runway so you have a displaced threshold and shorter runway. If you come in on 11 it's a non issue. A couple of things...

I dropped by to see if I could get the $100 "show" discount that's on offer for the Stratus 2 as I had just missed out by buying one before I knew this discount offer was due to happen....I don't know which of your guys I spoke with but he suggested I go back to Sporties and see if they would...

Was at the show today, I thought it was much better than the last couple of years, usual exhibitors but some new vendors in attendance,lots of goodies to look at. I wasn't there to buy anything in particular, but while I was browsing in the hangers it looked like plenty of dollars changing...

Just reminded me about the other day, holding short for landing traffic, a guy in the pattern announced his position and followed up with "gear down"... same procedure ...downwind...base and final, obviously his way of checking, interestingly I checked as well for him as he came in on short...

The NTSB have now released a preliminary report and confirm another aircraft taking off at the same time on an intersecting runway did contribute to the accident, no details of the other aircraft involved, they just confirm the fatal aircraft dived into the ground while attempting to take...

I don't know the procedure for getting a replacement, but I know my Doc after he issues the certificate he always waves it about and says "Do Not Lose This....or it's a real problem! " I never have asked him why...!

Gulp ! ....also updated before seeing anything from Foreflight...

We had intended to fly into Peter O'Knight today and get a ride down the road to MacDill for Airfest, naturally after yesterday's tragic accident that trip hasn't happened RIP and condolences to the families of those involved.

TFR is for Macdill AFB by coincidence this weekend is the Airfest on the base, it's pretty busy here today with lots of arrivals. Personally still unsure of the mid air reports, only one aircraft on the crash site, looks more likely that something catastrophic happened on initial climb out, no...

There are still noise issues at Naples, even for GA aircraft arriving and departing is frowned upon after 10pm

You're very welcome, glad it worked out well for you :)

I enjoy the short hop down from KBOW (Bartow) to Sebring for a bite to eat and see the variety of airplanes that often call by, and yes I agree you get a good breakfast or lunch on the field.

Dollar was at 1.36 to the UK pound yesterday which hurts me as having a vacation home in Florida to manage I'm transfering pounds across the water pretty regular

Done

I suggested KGIF as a convenient field because the OP is heading to Disneyworld which isn't too far away and hanger space is never a problem, they will even bring your rental car onto the ramp to load up your baggage. Having been to KISM and done the seemingly endless drive down 192 I'll...
