Decent flight up to Walton's Mountain, VA in a couple of tanks. Bit of a wild landing but nothing a little duct tape can't cure.

Before we left Middlesboro, Glacier Girl came in for a visit.
Nice flight over the Smokies to Walton's Mountain. I heard the John Boy is the FBO and Jim Bob drives the fuel truck at the airport.
We left Virginia headed south to Franklin North Carolina in the Smokies. Had a few Foo Fighters in tow as well. Unfortunately, I forgot to put film in the camera. Maybe one of the others got a shot or two.

Nice flight to the South Carolina coast. Looks like we are heading to Florida from here.
Good flight to my old stomping grounds in the South Carolina Low Country. I lived there in Goose Creek for a couple of years while a crewmember of a ship homeported at the old Charleston Naval Station. We landed at the East Cooper airport in Mt Pleasant and figure on heading south from here.
Decided that I've had enough Focke Wulfs for now and to go back to a light twin....

We left the Charleston area and headed on down the coast to Daytona Beach. As usual, tailgunner Fred was passed out in the back seat. And as expected, the 110 was the last to the airport.

Just a few pictures of last nights flight. Some how our conversations turned around to some big snakes and one that is real bad news. Not only does the fair state of Flordia have those crock-a-gators, but they now have big snakes that likes to hug you, and the bad news one that likes to spit into your eyes. All in all a fun flight. I guess there is danger where ever you go.
We left Daytona Beach to head down to Fort Lauderdale where it should be warmer. Swung by Cape Canaveral and they were having a time launching space shuttles. Spotted one a little ways out and as we got closer, they shot up two at once. Good thing there was only 3 launch towers there as they might could have got one of us with a fourth.
Anyway, we made it on down to Fort Lauderdale Executive (KFXE). Thinking Key West might look good for tomorrow....

We left Fort Lauderdale and followed the coast and then the keys on to Key West. As I flew over the Naval Air Station at Key West, I spotted 5 TBM Avengers parked there. Not sure why but for some reason a flight of those just seems to ring a bell.
Pics are a bit scrambled again.
