2nd Annual Trip to South Florida

Posted by Captain Tedward

John Kilbourne and I headed back down to South Florida for the second straight year to see a Miami Dolphins' game. He is a huge Tampa Bay Bucs fan so seeing our two favorite teams in action seemed like a no brainer. :-)

Our adventure began on Saturday, 11/14 as we flew from Hilton Head, SC down to Fort Lauderdale, FL via Titusville, FL for breakfast and gas. The weather was perfect and we had one heck of a tail wind, averaging 145 knots across the ground. We landed at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport in the early afternoon. That's when the fun began!!! I won't bore you will all the details but great weather, great company, and a Miami win made it very enjoyable for me! LOL

On Monday afternoon, 11/16, we departed for home but had to stop in Kissimmee, FL on the return due to a space shuttle launch. We managed to get airborne in time to get a few shots of the shuttle as it lifted off into space.

The following are three out of the four tracks we flew during this trip. The one for Fort Lauderdale to Kissimmee didn't work properly on my iPhone.

Enjoy the tracks and photos of the shuttle!
