OT Great Flying Day in NW Fla.

It had rained really hard for three solid days here but today the weather was gorgeous. We had "ETO High Clouds" today with light winds (5 to 10) and excellent visibility. I got to fly the C-140 a couple of hours today and the old Gal sure was glad to get out of the hangar.

Here are a couple of shots of the beautiful high clouds we had and one shot of the grass airfield as I flew over before turning downwind. We have a 2800 ft grass runway that is very smooth.

Lewis,

If you have MS Flight Simulator installed you can check out this airfield, it is F95. I would be careful about flying a very large aircraft in there but I can land a DC-3 there (in simulator).

Popsaka,

The Citabria I had was fully aerobatic but this aircraft is not. It is just a small trainer that is limited to spins, chandelles and wingovers.

It is a joy to fly, feather light on the controls and very cheap to operate and maintain.

I learned to fly out of Opa-Locka Florida so most of my stalls and maneuvers training was done over the everglades just west of Miami. I did my long cross country for my instrument rating to a very NW airfield in Florida but I don't recall exactly where anymore. Southern Florida is some very scenic flying and most of my 300 hours was in a 172 very similar to what your flying.
