Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International KFLL → Florida Keys Marathon KMTH

How time flies! Today’s stage takes us from Fort Lauderdale via Miami Beach all the way to the Florida Keys. That means, the destination of this journey is almost in sight. Before we get there, though, we've got some stunning views of the Miami metropolitan area.

Vero Beach Regional KVRB → Grand Bahama International MYGF

A few miles east of Florida lie the Bahamas. Since I’m already in the area, I thought a quick detour there would definitely be worth it. And it was.

Daytona Beach International KDAB → Vero Beach Regional KVRB

About halfway along is Cape Canaveral. I’ve flown around the area a bit by hand. I’ve really underestimated the size of the place.

As on the previous legs, the weather was again unsettled and windy, but I’m getting used to it.

Jacksonville Executive KCRG → Daytona Beach International KDAB

Through the flight, I learned that the famous Daytona International Speedway is located right next to the airport.

The weather was very changeable today, so I don’t need to mention again that there were strong crosswinds on takeoff and approach…

Savannah/Hilton Head International KSAV → Jacksonville Executive KCRG

After a brief stop in Georgia, I’ve now arrived in Florida. The weather was perfect: endless blue skies stretched as far as the eye could see, a fitting welcome to the Sunshine State. The only minor challenge was the wind at lower altitudes, which was a bit strong again.

Billy Mitchell KHSE → Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field Bogue KNJM

I traveled south along North Carolina’s coast with the TBM. Long stretches of sandy beaches and strong wind gusts stood out as the most striking features of this brief journey.

Norfolk International KORF → Billy Mitchell KHSE

In the early morning, both the moon and the sun were visible at the same time. The sun was just rising as I flew over Kill Devil Hills – the site of the Wright brothers' work and the location of the first motor-powered flight (last image).

A runway length of only 3,000 feet at Billy Mitchell Airfield and crosswinds made the landing quite a challenge.

Richmond International KRIC → Norfolk International KORF

Back in the United States for another attempt after resolving the technical issues. I’ve updated the keyboard shortcuts before takeoff ;-)

This flight was short but came with stunning views. The gusty crosswinds made landing quite a challenge. Had to make a go-around after the first try but managed to get down safely on the second attempt.

Berlin Brandenburg Airport EDDB → Berlin Brandenburg Airport EDDB

Right after work, I took a round-trip flight to the Lower Lusatia region in the Daher TBM 930, passing by my current and former hometowns. The flight was in real-time with actual weather conditions, allowing me to witness both the moonrise and sunset at the same time (check out my previous posts in this thread for “photos”).
