We were passing by the other day taking the scenic coastal route heading towards KFLL. This was, of course, taken while above 10,000' to avoid any problems with the "sterile cockpit" rule.

Looks an awful lot like a place for launching rockets and such. I think some of them even land there - the 'strip' is just out of view. That won't be the case much longer, we're going back to fishing them out of the ocean.

Nice pictures!

Hi Don,

I have the white yellow and blue RV6A that you may have seen at Arthur Dunn since April. It's a 2000 with an 0320. I've been having a blast with it!
