Last Saturday, Barry, Kim, and I flew down to Greystone Airport near Ocala, Florida. The fly-in community there, Jumbolair, was hosting a BBQ. The airport is home to John Travolta and his 2 aircraft, a Gulfstream and a 707. I didn't see his aircraft that day so he must have been out of town.
We were the 3rd aircraft to land and shortly thereafter, the planes started to arrive in droves. When it was all said and done, there were about 50 planes parked along the runway. The BBQ was good and watching all the planes depart was very exciting.
After the BBQ was over, we departed for Dunnellon Airport to pick up some gas, then we hopped over to Cedar Key for a light dinner. What's neat about Cedar Key is that the local cab company monitors the radio frequency and comes out to pick you up! $5 per person will get you into town. When you are ready for the ride back to the airport, you just give them a call.
As you can see by the slideshow, the weather was great and the trip home was beautiful too.
Enjoy!
