Day 46, All Over Florida

Well I've tallied up my hours so far... 228TT, 95 multi engine hours and 47.8 of which have been during this cross country phase. 16 more hours and I'm done flying 5-6 hours a day all over the east coast and FL especially. Part of me is really gong to miss flying so much and seeing different cities. The other part me can't wait to get past my commercial certificate and start studying for my flight instructor ratings. Over the last two days Yash and I flew from Jacksonville - Naples - Jacksonville - Atlanta - Daytona Beach - Naples - Jacksonville. Almost 13 hours in 2 days. While in Naples I was able to meet up with Ken Wright who was kind enough to pick us up and show us around beautiful Naples, FL. Unfortunately we only had about an hour to spend together but it was fun getting to see more of a city than just the airport terminal and nearby restaurant. Here are some of the pictures I've taken over the last couple of days. You can click directly on them to blow them up to full scale resolution. Most are shots of Naples' coastline as well as what I believe are endless lines of orange trees and a cool photo I took of our shadow on top of the clouds as we flew over. I should be done with my cross country phase in 3 more days.

  2. Great pictures, especially the one of your shadow on the clouds!

    Glad you were able to meet up and spend a little time with Ken, even if it wasn't for very long. I know that was nice for all of you!

  3. You need to submit that ghostly shadow of your plane to a photo contest. It is really cool. It almost seems like another plane is flying right underneath you. Have a great time and let us know if you fly over the dome or as it is affectionately known as the "Golf ball on the green".

  4. Great pictures! It was indeed really nice to be able to get a personal tour of Naples. I am glad that you thought of calling Ken and that he was able to meet up with you and your flying partner. Enjoy this time while it lasts before you have to hit the books again! Take care.
