I love getting up early and flying in that still morning air.
I departed X50 Massey Airpark about 7 AM, and got this shot as I turned south:
Then I continued south and got permission from Orlando Approach to fly down the Shuttle Landing Strip (15,000 feet long) as the sun was coming up:
Here you can see the Runway in the foreground and the huge Vehicle Assembly Building in the background:
...and the Vehicle Assembly Building as I go by...launch pads in the background
Then, I flew past the cruise ships sitting in Port Canaveral...
...and the beautiful Merritt Island Airport.
Finally, an RNAV / GPS approach into RW36 at TIX Space Coast Regional...before flying back north and home to Massey Airpark:
I love flying!
