Where did you get the wings covered? I live in Venice and need a set done. Glenn Putnam On Jun 30, 2010, at 8:34 PM, bbartsey wrote: Ah, the things we do to keep ourselve amused. Today, after a few weeks, or months, of getting my Ercopue annualed and lots of things fixed, i.e., wings recovered, new flight insturments, I took the old girl out for a spin. I looked at the map and found that east of Naples, FL in the middle of the Everglades, sits a 10,000 ft plus landing strip that I think is there for, well, maybe some political reasons, but was intended for maybe the "far out" Miami International Airport of the future, or it may be some kind of beaureaucratic boondogle. I was too cautious about avoiding a landing fee so I landed back at the home drome and gave them a call asking about the ROE for shooting some touch an go's over there. I w as told to come on over, land and get a landing permit good for a year and then I can use the airport for whatever. I think the place may have been intended to give the airlines a place to practice approches and landingd until simulators took over the training scenario. There is no tower but only a Unicom frequency so I will report later on how many touch and go's I can shoot on one pass at this virtually deserted airport. Look up Collier/Dade airport in Florida. Amazing. Bart
