Greetings, Folks,
Jeff and I flew our new (5 months) MKIII-C down the coast from KPMP to Key Biscayne, did a low pass at Homestead Air Reserve Base (started to fall asleep after the first two miles of concrete,) and over to X51, where Mike (Jet Pilot) lives. Missed Mike, since he and his mates were off to the Keys for the day, but we did try out my inadequate digital camera on the way back up the beach. Thought it might be fun for you to check out.
The buildings were cool, but I think due to the Lexan and the lens, we got a lot of shimmery polarizing lines.
Still fun, and a great flight!
Enjoy,
Dave and Jeff

There are several other clips from the flight. My Youtube handle is "Sabbatical100".

That looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for the video. Looking at that area on skyvector.com it looks very busy with class B and class C airspace all over, but I suppose you were underneath all that.
What are those green and red dots on your windshield?

Really great video Dave and Jeff. For being fairly new in their Kolb, they are doing some great flying. I have been doing all my filming of birds, gators, and everglades and it never even occurred to me to do a beach and video of the South Florida Skyline like Dave did. I have to give him an A for creativity !

Thanks, Guys,
Glad you enjoyed the video. Sorry about the quality...
The dots on the windscreen are horizon markers for us as we get the "sight picture" ingrained in our heads for landing. We're still newbies, having bought our MkIII-C from Steven Green in May.
As far as the airspace goes, you're right- Class Bravo overlays much of the area we flew, but at 500 ft agl, we were out of the way. We also had a discrete txpnder code and flight following going for us. ATC was very accommodating from Ft Lauderdale through Miami and Homestead Air Reserve Base (HST), both ways!

Yes! I enjoyed the video also.
A few years ago some one else did a similar video around Chicago it had
notations or something that identified stuff as he flew around. Would it be
possible for you to do that also?
