My turn to Cedar Key, FL

So my friend and I decided to fly up to Cedar Key, FL for the hell of it. He flew it up, I flew it back to St. Pete. We took off and climbed to 2500ft since it was a great day to fly. Judy is back and she does offer rides to the city for $5 a person each way. She is a great person and if you ask her she will take you wherever, all you have to do is ask for her on the radio.

Nice pics. These tortoise here in florida have a death wish. More than a few times I have reported to tower of a tortoise on the runway. :)
 
Haha, thanks! I was showing my father the pictures and he was asking what would you do if you saw one on the runway and it was too late to go around. I told him turtle soup isn't bad. :sarcasm:
 
Nice photos! What day did you go on? I was just there this past Saturday, there was also a Baron parked on the ramp...
 
The 16th, exactly a week ago, they flew in just before we were about to leave, they came from Mobile, Alabama.

The Baron came from Mobile? Nifty...there's a shot of his/her plane in the video I posted from my Cedar Key trip in the video forum.
 
very nice pictures.

I've been meaning to fly to cedar key,fl, but for some odd reason in the three years i live in Florida never got the chance to do so.

Who wants to go on a cross country? :)

Tell him it's never too late to go around until you have landed;)

Here are a couple of photos from my turn at Cedar Key
