I agree about a single engine air craft. My father-in-law used to have a Cessna we would take down (Costin Airfield----grass landing strip-Yikes). I remember looking for airplanes/jets....they would come over the headphones and say something like "Cessna72509...there is an aircraft aproaching at 2 o'clock...1 mile" or something along those lines and we would dip the wings looking for it....never saw it but they kept telling us how much closer it was getting. Then the bank over the gulf to land at the airfield which is out by the country club on Scenic Route 30 towards Indian Pass. Fun times, but he sold the plane (thank goodness).
From Mexico Beach to St. Joe it is a straight shot. There are channel markers into the bay.
I love flying! But out of gliding range offshore makes me really uneasy. Our airplane is a Cessna 182. Nothing like getting to the beach in less than 2 hours from Atlanta...
We're looking forward to making the trip to the beach, I booked a place yesterday. I'm sure we'll find plenty of fun stuff to do with the boat.
How much gear do we need to troll for Spanish just off the
beach? I've always caught lots of them off the pier in Destin...
