Cool set of shots around FL! :)  Did you run into Baron Pilot (Kris) in Punta Gorda? :rolleyes:

One thing I did run into - unfortunately with no foresight.  The guys who were credited with the 9/11 disaster were trained to fly by an outfit in Sarasota.  I often visited with the gent who managed the Arcadia airport and he mentioned these guys and their disdainful attitude.  Later, after the disaster and recalling, I know that I looked the one who flew through the world trade center in the face.
