Any tips or suggestions?<br /><br />          Philip Mendelson - Mar 11,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Dave we have made numerous trips to the Keys, always a fun time. Make sure you check your charts and notams if you decide to fly into Key West International Airport.<br />It is located next to The Naval Airstation. They have an approach control, I have found if you call them roughly thirty miles out, it is a very easy transition. Everyone is real friendly and the tower loves Seareys....          Dan Nickens - Mar 11,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Going to the Dry Tortugas you'll have to go through a National Defense Operating Area, cross the ADIZ, enter the Tortugas MOA and land at a National Park. There is a designated seaplane landing lane at the park and you aren't supposed to operate outside designated areas. The only phone at the park is a satellite phone and very expensive (your cell phone won't work). The park is very cool and there's a good beach, but be careful of the tides. It's all doable, but you need to be prepared. (My information is several years old. If I were going again I'd talk with the guys at Key West Seaplanes. They were very helpful.)       Attachments:   Key West Seaplanes          Jim Garrett - Mar 13,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Dan,<br />Looking at the picture on the attachment, where are you supposed to beach a Searey.          Dan Nickens - Mar 13,2011   Viewers  | Reply     On the entrance side, north of the dock, Jim.          Matt Tucciarone - Mar 12,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Watch out for this.       Attachments:   Cable          Troy iRMT Heavy Maint. Enriquez - Mar 12,2011   Viewers  | Reply     I have flown to KW many times. you will see that blimp and cable matt is talking about. (I <br />hope) you may even see some Navy fighters flying by you. I did it was cool. and kinda <br />scary. but, they knew where I was.<br />you can get rental scooters delivered/picked up. (for free) to you at the airport.
