Return to Florida 2015 Day 3 Sunday 22nd November 2015

[davidallum]

Just three airports visited today and not a lot of driving either,50-60 miles I guess,first stop of the day was a new airport for me Fort Myers-Page Field,I had been told that they do have biz so was highly delighted to log 10 also some nice homebuilts etc:

Then it was the short drive across to Fort Myers-Southwest Florida Regional to check what airliners were in and if any of the biz had changed overnight:

N253QS Falcon 2000
N870RW E170 Republic (Delta Connection)
N822MD E170 Republic (US Airways Express/American)

Then it was back on I-75 for the 30 miles or so trip down to Naples,I like this airport especially if they are landing/departing on runway 05,there is a raised viewing deck at the threshold of this runway,it is shaded,has ATC piped in,the only thing missing is an ice cream van,today however there was a bit of a cross wind with aircraft using 05 and 32 which is ok as biz and larger twin will reach the cross section of these two runways and can be easily identified,we also drove around the various nooks and crannies and the following log was produced:

Great logs Dave- stayed a couple of days with friends on the Gulf Coast on our last Florida trip in 2013 to see the "Mouse" They have a house in Placida which is not far from Fort Myers- but we did not venture out to any airfields, apart from Fantasy of Flight on our way back to Orlando. However Naples looks great, with lots of Biz- will have to try and head out that way the next time we go to Florida.

Great end to a very busy and fruitful year for you mate.

Happy Days

Hi Bob,

Yes I've been very lucky this year with two trips to the States,a family holiday in Fiji and a few European trips as well.I've made 21 commercial flights this year,nothing planned for next year at the moment,suppose 2016 may well be an anti climax.
