Interesting bringing up Kermit Weeks. Mary and I tried to find our
way to his nearby "Fantasy of Flight" museum during the week, and were
astounded to find that there was NO shuttle bus from the SNF grounds
to his museum. NONE.


That's quite a ways away.
Fantasy of Flight is southwest of Disney World.
That's on the west side of Orlando.
That's about 60 miles away.
Not really a shuttle ride away.


It is about 22 miles from Lakeland Linder to Fantasy of Flight by road
(per mapquest). I didn't realize how close it was until Sunday. I flew
over to Winter Haven from SnF on Sunday morning. Winter Haven is


18 nautical miles NE of


Lakeland Linder. There I picked up a buddy and gave him a good ride in the
RV. About 10 miles NNW of Winter Haven, I saw a Lockheed Constellation
out in the middle of a grass field, which caused me to do a double take...
I'd accidentally found Fantasy of Flight from the air...
