Cedar Key is a nice place for a fly in.  Runway is a bit shorter than most at around 2300 feet, but no tall obstructions on the approaches. 


Everglades City Airport, X01, is also a great place for a fly in.  Similar to Cedar Key, a short runway, about 2400 feet, but no obstructions on the approach ends and a lot to see and do in the area.  I flew into Everglades City this past weekend and biked around the town and went to eat at one of the numerous seafood restaurants.  A lot of history at Everglades City, just like Cedar Key.  Everyone would have to be use to the shorter runways, but there is a lots to see and do, if you have a bike or don't mind walking.

Not trying to be too "Spam-like", but my vacation home on Cedar Key is available for rentals and is within 100 yards of KCDK.. Information at www.islandoaks.net.

Hope to land there sometime soon myself - PPL student at approx 20 hours, with dreams of M20F ownership.

I'm in. Have not been there for many years but I recall it being a nice place to spend a day and they had some nice seafood restaurants. I went to school in Gainesville (boy that was a long time ago) but remember taking some dates there too. I was broke then but man would I like to have the youth and vigor of my college days

Post some pics if it gets done, please..

Hope someday soon to spend a fair amount of time at CDK....this could become an annual thing in the future w burgers on the deck (although there are lots of places to eat in CDK) at Island Oaks.

Have fun, Bill

So, guys...are we talking Cedar Key, where there is nothing, like a meeting room, fuel, good runway, transportation, food joints, or much of anything else; or Everglades City with reasonable fuel, a weekend FBO, lifts to several seafood restaurants, think fresh stone crabs, a recently resurfaced runway, and like that?

Not that I have a favorite between the two ;) . Or somewhere else convenient and centrally located for our first MooneySpace get together. Not much time to decide.

I'm good with CDK or X60. I have not been to Everglades in over 10 years. Definitely would not mind going back but don't know I have enough time for that this Saturday.

Looking at my new spiffy Flight Guide "seamless sectional" map for something interesting and centrally located in Florida.... that even Jim can fly to, How about:

Lake Wales X07, or, Bartow KBOW, or Winter Haven KGIF?

Jim: X07 is 250 NM from me + getting through the "friendly" Orlando skies.....not exactly equal distant. Are you still at 1JO?

Then Ocala it is.....say 10:30 on Saturday?

One of my 'strong points' is making things more complicated than they have to be. :unsure:

So, who else is coming????

So, looks like perezer, flyboy, and Jim, for sure.

Maybe Gmcd, gregwatts (who started this whole thing) , and could Dale make it (which would be a real treat)?

Anyone else interested??????
