Although Tampa is a bit out of the way, anyone wanting to see the stunning gulf is welcome to visit here between Saturday and Wed that week. (April 5-9) I'll be at Garners and one day at SNF between M-W so let me know if you want to visit.

Don, I'll be at the GCS base 129.025. Let me know if you guys need a rest stop, and I'll notify the spooks. We'll be at GCS all day Saturday.<br /><br />

Rick, is that the same field I landed at before?

It is Don. Green Cove Springs. Don't go snooping around the large hangar!

Right! I made a wrong turn there once and all of a sudden a bunch of serious-looking guys came out to welcome me. Turned right around and hightailed it for Rick's hangar. Thanks, Jon. (But I've often wondered what they would have done if I hadn't turned around.)

I heard that waterboarding is going to be a new Olympic sport for the Beijing games.

He may not want to say, Dennis, but I have it and the coordinates.

OK. I'll be sure to have my radar jaming devices operating when we get close.

FL60 is the identifier. They are really nice fella's as long as I let them know when 'guests' will be arriving. By the way Don, I was kicked out of my other hangar by the management of the park because some company was willing to pay rent. I have since built a new hangar in Peagasus front yard. It is literally in front of their hangar. We are still friends though. Call me if you'll need fuel, and we'll have it there.<br />

Thanks, Rick. <br /><br />Unfortunately, it looks like the sky is doing its own darkening without the help of Mid-Atlantic SeaReys. I can't get to the rendezvous point in South Carolina today because of the weather, and tomorrow and Saturday it looks like 30-50 knot headwinds aloft, even at SeaRey altitude. Jeff's wife's godmother died yesterday, but he and Dennis might still try to brave the wind on Saturday and Sunday. It's 200 miles farther for me and I don't want to miss Garner's, so I'm getting the car ready today. (And muttering imprecations and oaths.)

Hey, Rick, Google Earth still shows your old hangar, with what is probably your truck parked in front of it. Microsoft's 'Virtual Earth' (which Eric Batterman recently introduced me to (and which I despise for all the usual anti-Empire reasons)) shows it in the Aerial view and in the Birds-eye view of that location. But it appears also to show your new hangar in the Birds-eye view of the new location:<br />

My understanding is that the level of dust in the local atmosphere and the amount of heat waves coming off the ground are a LIMFAC (limiting factor) to the resolution.

Garner's Landing weather:<br /><a href="Http://www.baynews9.com/Home.html">Http://www.baynews9.com/Home.html</a><br /><br />Weather for Central Florida:<br />A little late day shower to cool things off is <br />on the menu for the whole Week. <br />Shower may develop in the late afternoon <br />usually after 6:pm.<br />It was just another beautiful spring morning<br />light winds, temps in the 80s and a few puffy <br />cumes popping, looks the same for the next<br />few weeks.

For folks on the way North the weekend of Apr 11-13, I'll be at Charleston AFB, SC. Anyone that can stop there (it's a public airport) please give me a call and I'll drive us downtown for a great meal or just a nice tour of a great town. (or a personal tour of a C-17) <br />Cell 813-416-7744.

Ken--you might just get a carful on the way home to Virginia. Carol and #1 Son Chris are driving south to Garner's and SNF with me, leaving in a few minutes. (Driving right past a perfectly good, gassed up SeaRey in a hangar to go to a SeaRey gathering. Where's the logic in that!)

Don,<br /> The WX here is another incredible day. Forcast is not good though. I'm watching it closely to determine our method of travel to Garners'

BTW, I'm buying the beer, if you're driving I-95. Also available for you or anyone that needs a rest stop on the way to SNF/Garners is my 1 Bedroom 2 double bed mother in law apartment. Less than 5 miles off I-95.

Make that Dos Equis, Rick. But we (Carol, son Chris & I) have stopped for the night in Walterboro, SC, and expect to arrive in Winter Haven tomorrow aft.

I've got a mini-van so riders are welcome. I'll be in Ocala Thursday but can swing South to pick up folks early Fri am if needed to drive them as far as Charleston, SC.
