New Prop

Notice something different? Our airplane got a new propeller this year. Here you can see it in the hangar proudly showing off its new look. And not only does it look good, it's quieter and faster, too.

Happy New Year and Blue Skies to All!

West Coast

Friday, December 30 was another perfect day for flying. We made a quick flight to the west coast of Florida, probably our last flight of 2005.


Here you can see some low fog over one of the many lakes south of Orlando, Florida. The fog had burned off by the time we made our return trip home.

Executive Airport

Tuesday, December 27 was a perfect day for flying. The skies were clear and our airplane, fresh from its annual, was running like a dream. We flew from Merritt Island to Fort Lauderdale Executive airport to visit with our nieces Danielle and Maddie and nephew Noah. We ate lunch together at Tarpon Bend restaurant then spent the afternoon at the Museum of Discovery and Science. A good time was had by all!

Fall Colors










Fall Colors This weekend we flew to Gatlinburg, TN to see the fall colors. It was peak season and the leaves were spectacular! The sky was crystal clear on the flight up so we had a spectacular view of the mountains from 8000 feet. Here you can also see our approach into Gatlinburg airport and its tree-lined runway; the view of the Smoky Mountains from our room at the Park Vista Hotel; and a peaceful view of the clouds during our flight back home.

While driving through the mountains, we just happened to be interviewed by a local television station and were on the 11 o'clock news! The short video clip has been posted on their website - here is the link: http://www.volunteertv.com/global/video/popup/pop_player.asp?ClipID1=575799&h1=Fall%20Colors&vt1=v&at1=News&d1=95867&LaunchPageAdTag=News&activePane=info&playerVersion=9&rnd=12963172 It's a hoot - check it out before it is gone!
