Hospital visit got caught on Fox Sport News
One of our flight members was hospitalized. We wanted to cheer him and his family up by paying them a visit at the hospital. Our flight lead contacted ATC and got a clearance to do a fly-by. The hospital is close to the Daytona International Speedway. The news crew covering the Sprint Unlimited Practice saw us and broadcast it on live TV. You don't see 13 different airplanes in a formation everyday, especial not on a Friday, the 13th (the 13 airplanes were just that many showed up and not planned). The rest of the video is what we do every Friday evening before sunset.
News broadcast begins at 1:40. Click the picture to start the video.

That's why the detour happened. I watched your video yesterday and saw your headline about Halifax Hospital. Is your flight lead still flying for records?  |

Goofy flew for record (no more). He was at the tail smoking.

That is an odd set of ducks. Be careful out there.

Lakes/Goofy Flight 18 ship
We do practice every Wednesday morning (whoever is in town) and every Friday evening. Most of us are FAST card holders. Yes, safety is number one.
Following video is from our Bonfire fly by (we are always the last flight).

The flyby recipient's airplane
Is it an obscure, antique, red, low wing tri-gear?
