Flight Reports. 4-19-08
Flew down to Punta Gorda for Lunch.
Flight path From PIE thru SPG under the Tampa Class B at 1000' over Tampa Bay,
then climb to 2500' and scrape by the Sarasota Class C and straight to PGD.
The return will be a SW departure, over the race track and up the West coast of
Florida at 1000 feet. The orange line is the path down, the red the path
back home.

Nothing noteworthy on the way down to report. The plane was humming along
nicely. The Sky View Cafe there was pretty good. Enjoyed our lunch
and decided to fly back over the beaches.
