Florida 2018 Day 9 Opa Locka,Tamiami & Miami

[davidallum]

A cloudy start to the day so we decided to head south and explore Opa Locka & Tamiami with a visit to Miami if we had the time.Opa Locka has changed so much recently,when we were here this time last year they were just leveling the ground ready for a new Amazon hub,this is now up and running with a similar building alongside it which is for sale/rent,also they are planning to built a massive complex for the American Automotive Club so all of the little nook & crannies have disappeared so that when you enter the airfield,you drive straight to the terminal although you can still read off stuff that is parked around.As mentioned last year,Opa Locka does not have any scheduled passenger flights but does have cargo flights mainly operated by Convair's and DC.3's etc,airliners do receive some TLC here.
