Florida Trip 2017 Day 3 Wed 22/11/17 Fort Myers & Naples

[davidallum]

Awoke to a glorious morning again (would be the theme for this trip),the main objective for today was to spend as much time as possible at Naples-Municipal for the biz movements as the following day was Thanksgiving.Firstly we popped into Fort Myers-Southwest Florida Regional,this airport is fairly steady throughout the day with airliner movements but it's quiet first thing,also the main FBO here is very anti spotter and they are quick off the mark should they see anyone getting out of the car to view the parked biz,so not to tempt fate we drove around their car park reading off what we could,to be fair there wasn't a lot parked up:
