Paul, I'm not sure what model SPOT Paul is using on the trip. I'll have to do some research on the latest SPOT offerings. Looks like it's working perfectly so far. Fun to watch the progress.

I am going to order one of those SPOTS! That is cool to look back at where you had traveled. I also like the security of the SOS.

Paul actually is using one of the older spots that is no longer available.. He is upgrading shortly to the spot connect

Ask the tower for intersection departure and was forced to full length...

As we departed... The 737's words were (with a Texas drawl)

737-them Kitfox's..
6KA-Yes
737-that didn't take long
6KA-2YB...

John,

It is fun watching the progress towards Florida.

Why did y'all stop in College Station, Texas, home of the Fighting Texas Aggies?
