Yesterday I did an IFR training trip from my home base at Plant City to Orlando Executive just north of Orlando. Since it was IFR and I was flying with my instructor I couldn't really look out the window much, but on the way back we flew right over Fantasy of Flight at 4,000 feet and I snuck a peek.
I've met Kermit Weeks, who owns the place and he's about the most down to earth multi-millionaire you'd ever know. Since his family made their money after Kermit was in his early twenties, and they'd been middle class folks all during his formative years, he really has a good perspective on wealth and how to use it.
Anyway, if any of you get blackmailed into doing Disney, FoF is just 30 minutes down the road and well worth the trip. Laid out real well, easy access for folks with limited mobility (caters to vets) and a pleasant few hours.
