The airplane looks great contrasting with all the blue, Mike.

Great picture Mike!
Did you splash and go at Lake Jackson on Sunday?

Sorry we missed the Splash-In. We flew 14 hours (mostly over open Atlantic) in 6 days and got back Friday. Fun, we were both
happy, but tired.

Thanks Dan! It was a scary, but fantastic trip to the Bahamas. Jones Bros organized it.

Thunderstorms, flying over very large expanses of open Atlantic, with very large swells.

I was watching you guys on FlightAware during the return trip to the US and could see two fairly ominous-looking storms just to the north of your track. I was relieved when you turned west and made landfall.

Don, FlightAware looks very interesting! How did you know we were filed/leaving Bimini? That was our 10th leg of flying (14 hrs in 6
days) and we were a little tired of 'excitement'. On top of the T storms, Miami ATC at the time was giving Scott in 274FR crap because
I didn't know how to set my Dynon Transponder to 'Standby'. (After we landed at Stuart, we found pressing the 'AUTO' button TWICE
quickly was the secret.)

Mike, it was a lot easier than you gave me credit for. Scott S. has a hangar near mine, and I knew that he was heading for the Bahamas. One day I looked for his N-number in FlightAware and watched him landing at one of the Cays--forgot which one. A few days later I checked again and saw that he was heading northwest, right toward those two storms. I took the screenshot shortly after that.
(Another app, FlightRadar24, also found him and for a while also showed him in formation with another Searey--forgot that, too. That app is a bit snazzier than FlightAware, but it doesn't get as many hits because (I've read) it reads only the higher ADS-B frequency. FlightAware has recently started looking at the lower frequency and apparently gets more info for US aircraft.)

Both FlightAware and FlightRadar24 work in browsers, as well as in their own apps.

Thanks very much for that Don, I'll look at those Apps. We had a great time in the Bahamas, and it was wonderful meeting Scott and
his wife Stephanie - hopefully, we'll see them all again next year.

I knew you just got back from a wonderful adventure Mike. But I saw another plane other than Bruce with that paint scheme land in
Lake Jackson,taxi around and then take back off without coming to shore. ???

It wasn't me (N123YT) Again, sorry to have missed that. If you want to meet at the Sunset Grill for lunch some weekend, please let
me know. I'm also often (for lunch!) at Sebring Airport, and Venice Airport.

Let me know when you're heading up to Tavares! My email is mike@jamwalters.com, 630-878-4213. Joan and I want to go up there
for an overnight visit, we'll stay at the Key West Hotel right next to FA1. BTW, the Bahamas trip was really a lifetime experience.
Everyone who went this year is penciled in for next year, and we're talking new island destinations.
