    You would have to fly a REAL wide pattern to end up in the Bahamas. :)

    Having just flown down to Tampa and back and few months ago, it wouldn’t be *that* much further…

    Ryan,
    Who reaches for the ban button ;)

    Well the good news is that after only a few hours here, we’ve decided this was such an absolutely brilliant idea, it will become our Feb/Mar annual fly in.

    The discussion now is whether it moves to various islands or stays in the same place.

    Okay, what is it with this recurring pattern joke? Honestly, I don’t understand it…

    I’d come to the southeast events, but apparently they aren’t very reliable

    I just picked up a trip to drop some people off at Marsh Harbour at 1:00 tomorrow, so I’m claiming attendance on this one! :)

    How much time do you have there? I think you can only claim it if we meet you for lunch?

    @ktup-flyer has the final verdict


    Edit: you gotta ship them further south - that’s way too far

    We are just dropping off passengers, so unless the other pilot I’m flying with has to rush home we could do lunch, but I know it’s a haul from where you guys are.

    This trip may cancel due to weather anyway, so stay where you are and have another Kalik. :)

    I just got home. It was an awesome flyin. Unfortunately I had to leave early due to other obligations. As icing on the cake, I just did the whole return trip Exumas (MYEF) to Chicago (KDPA) in a single day, 11.0h and finished it up with a bumpy approach to OVC008 and low-40s and rain.

    Man, what a day! Lunch at Staniel Cay Yacht Club, Thunderball Grotto snorkeling/free diving, then loose formation with the boys on the flight back for some pics. This is 100% an annual trip now.
