My good friend Glen Davis who has a beautifully restored Ercoupe flew down from Spruce Creek, Florida to spend the day flying around central Florida. I thought we were just going to go to Okeechobee for breakfast but instead we flew to see Lynn Nelsen who lives in a fly-in community in Frostproof. Lynn has just finished a LSA airplane called the Lightning. It is really sleek and cool. We talked Lynn into joining us for lunch to KOBE. I was flying left seat, Glen is always great about letting QUALIFIED pilots take the controls. Once we got airborne, I pulled out the Canon HG10 HD camera and asked Glen to fly the Coupe. It was a little bumpy in spite of clear blue skies, but I have some good video to share.

We enjoyed a tasty lunch at KOBE and we departed for Vero Beach with Lynn heading back to Frostproof. On the way back to Vero beach, perhaps 10 miles southwest of the field, Glen asked, "Is that the Cape in the horizon?" Indeed it was! The visibility was 50 miles!
It was one of those days in General Aviation that you cherish. The freedom of flight and good friends to share it with!
