Gary, you guys will still have fun in Central Florida, with the Sun N Fun experience thrown in, it won't be a waste of time. I think there are several lessons here, especially if you are counting on VFR to Florida. To start with, I avoid making long range hotel reservations, I literally wait...

Gary, look at the bright side...if you fly commercial, you'll probably save money! If you maybe wait a day or two, Wednesday or Thursday looks like VFR may be doable. The wife and I are planning a Wednesday afternoon departure in 1159P, with an overnight in Myrtle Beach, probably take in "Dixie...

There are pros and cons to flying into KLAL vs. driving in for Sun N Fun. Over the years I have done it both ways, more recently driving in, while basing my Mooney at nearby Kissimmee. My biggest complaint about flying in, is the inconvenience of the parking location. Unless you arrive very...

Gary..thanks for the heads up text message! Presently, not looking good for W29 in the late afternoon, but I'll be looking for a brunch-lunch destination earlier in the day... Jeff N1159P 1N4 Woodbine, NJ

Yessir, definitely a class act. -Jeff N1159P 1N4 Woodbine, NJ

Glad to hear Gary was able to bail you out Ron, it never really made it to VFR here along the Jersey coast, blanketed by fog...and the only time I could make that trip was in the early AM, but work appointments plus the weather conspired against me. In any event, I'm rescheduled at Lancaster...

Gary: Thats great news! You won't be disappointed. I wanted to share with you another strategy for the trip down or back. In years past, Tracy and I have split the trip over two days, leaving in the afternoon, and staying in North Myrtle Beach, at KCRE, enjoying the local attractions. Plenty...

I'd like to expand on John's answer. SnF may not be a pre-owned airplane shopping mart, but neither is OshKosh, or any airshow for that matter. However, if you ever wanted to get up close and personal with virtually any aircraft that was ever manufactured or home-built, then where else can you...

Here is Col Halvorsen with my bride, Tracy, during Airventure 2007..Right place, right time, and it was an honor...sure is handy to have a phone camera! Jeff Mooney N1159P 1N4 Woodbine, NJ

Gary, I was at Millville on Friday, and today (Saturday), I was aimlessly wandering the skies near Woodbine in 1159P most of the day! I couldnt find anyone to go to MIV with. Sorry I missed you. We need a better signalling system. (Text to 6093747108) Sunday looks like we might be able to...

Ron, I might be able to help you out. I'll be at Lancaster Avionics on 1/11, first thing in the a.m. for the IFR checks on my mooney, 1159P. Todd told me I should be finished around noon...Lancaster did the WAAS upgrade in Feb 2007 to my 530, and its been a real blast ever since...I was there...

Thanks for the invite Lance, that's what puts the "fun" in "Sun-n-fun"..meeting new friends along the way. One of my favorite stops is Grand Strand airport, KCRE, near Myrtle Beach, SC...Always free Hot Dogs, and gas discounts, but nobody beats the gas prices at Whitesville, NC,KCPC just a few...

I had the honor of meeting Col. Halvorsen, while riding the elevator at the OshKosh Hilton during Airventure 2007. We had a pleasant conversation. What a great guy. Also had the honor of riding jump seat on the "Spirit of Freedom" into Teterboro, NJ recently. You can see that ride on...

April 8-13 2008 at KLAL, Lakeland, Fl. I don't post often, and spend most my time lurking, but the annual ritual that is "Sun N Fun", starts to occupy my thoughts starting in January. 2008 will mark the 14th straight year I have flown my Mooney to the Sunny South, to attend the EAA sponsored...

After retiring from Law Enforcement, the wife and I moved about 20 miles south to be near my airport in Cape May County, NJ (1N4 Woodbine). The wife still works at the State Medical Examiners office, right next to the airport. My drive to the airport is 1.5 miles. We love it. Nice view from my...
