Breakfast spot - chilly morning

 

Where for breakfast? We have a heater in the hangar but will it suffice?

Opa Locka (OPF) is a little closer to where you¡¯re going than Tamiami (TMB). Both are equally corporate and flight school-y. There are no human being airports closer that I know of.

Very interesting reading about Ed. My home town of Sharpsville PA is only about 45 minutes away from his home town of slippery rock. I fly into grove city almost every time I go home which neighbors slippery rock. ?

From Jarrod Jarvis:


Ladies and Gentleman,
?A friendly reminder that for tomorrow I have coordinated with a team flying over with anticipated aircraft P47, P51, and 4 to 5 T6¡¯s doing a missing man formation. Time on target has not quite been identified but estimated around 11am. The T-6¡¯s will land at 0A7 and a following crowd and participants as well as pilots will be visiting the museum. The p47 will obviously not likely land. Should be an interesting experience nonetheless and encourage you all to spread the word to anyone with interest.
Thank you
Jarrod Jarvis
