Hi, Kolbers, 

Thought you might enjoy this video shot by a friend yesterday as a flight of five flew from Airglades (2IS) in Clewiston, Florida to Labelle (X14). There were two Kolbs, a Flyboy, (Czech plane) and two Drifters. The yellow MKIII is "Fat Albert," one of the original Kolb factory demo's, flown by Peter Volum, who has owned her for 12 years. Mine, the red and yellow MKIII was built by Stephen Green, and I've owned her for 2.5 happy years.

The two drifters are based at Airglades, and are flown by two long-time ultralighters, Andy and Paul. 

The Flyboy, and Fat Albert are based at "Richards", a private grass strip NE of Homestead General (X51.)

A great day was had by all, as we checked out some open land that Andy is thinking of developing as a fly-in camping retreat near Labelle.

You can see that this part of South Florida has just received some much needed rain, after a severe drought this spring. They got 5 inches in about 24 hours.

Oops, sorry, the Czech plane is a "Skyboy," not a "Flyboy," but at 100kts cruise, that's what it does!

Let's plan to meet at Lantana and go some place-

Okeechobee or Airglades. Fun to watch the skydivers there and get a hamburger...

Thanks. That was a real treat watching the video. I have flew from Lansing, MI to Oshkosh, WI with Steven Green usually watching that fat two bladed IVO pushing Steven's plane much faster than I could fly. I also flew Fat Albert all day at the old Kolb factory just before flying my MKIII for the first time. Then again a few years later at New Kolb getting a biannual check ride. It looks different now. I spend all winter in Florida and now rent to get airborn during the winter months. I have never flown over that area so it was great. I assume that that was the cross Florida intercostal water way.  



Thanks again. Packing for Oshkosh.

Right, Rick,

It's the Caloosahatchee River West of Airglades.

Great video and now you have seen my world as I live just south of the river and between Clewiston and LaBelle.  If you was to have followed SR 80 which is parallaled the river you would have seen the hang glider field and tugs towing them up.
