Over the Fantasy of Flight

[TeaSea]

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.

Thanks TeaSea, I'll have to check it out next time I go to my folks house in Orlando.

Thanks TeaSea for the heads up.

Sounds like a good place to visit. Congrats on your IFR as well.

I gotta make it down there TeaSea. We have the Fighter Factory in my neck of the woods and I advise anyone in the Tidewater area of VA not to miss the opportunity to drop by. Ask for Craig Quattelbaum and tell him Caz Dalton sent you, you'll get the personal tour. They too restored airplanes to fly, not static displays.

Thanks Cazzie...

I may be up in that area within the next few months so I'm definitely going to see if I can peel some time off to check this out.
