fly it by hand back from a trip to St Augustine for an hour of the 1:15 flight. It flys like a dream, very smoth , and having the Excalibur conversion,
tons of power
Flying over Jupiter,
Climbing up to 8500 ft
At altitude

thanks mates
indeed the fortune of meeting this instructor is working out very well,
he's said for me to get my passport so I can go island hopping taking his boss where he wants to go.
Sunday we flew to Gainsville and then to New Smyrna, I got the Gainsville leg and another pilot who has just gotten his
license back after a medical flew the rest back to Lantana.
Travolta's home... the 707 is in...

I thought John Travolta's 707 was banned from there due to neighbours complaints

he's probably stuck in one of those conundrums
he can't have it there , and he can't fly out of there .. but he can't keet it there.
so they're probably screaming at him to get it out of there.
I hear they hate the gulfstream he has , thats there to...
