Great Shots and brings back memories when I rode back there in the 70's.

That's awesome! Never seen that area from that perspective before! Love it! My brother in law is a pilot and has his own runway and storage for his airplane just up the road from my house. However, he crashed the plane just after take off last year and hit the trees at the end of the runway. He was ok, but as you know, the plane was not. He's not gotten another one yet, but I know he will. I love to fly as well. Thanks for posting the pics!

Great pics! That's really cool. Been there and seen it from under the trees but never over them. Thanks.

Hey, I think I can see my house from there! No-not really. Don't think my Cessna 150 would make it quiet that high. Cool pictures
Thanks for sharing

Great pictures, thanks for sharing.
I just happen to live within a few miles of this twistie. I have ridden Hwy 129 more times than I can remember. For some reason I just can't seem to get enough of it both on a bike and in a sports car. Sitting here now waiting for warm weather.

The next time you fly over keep an eye out for a black eg or a red boxster, that should be me.

Here is a few more For anyone going to Key West. If I recall this was last summer at 45,000 ft making the turn. We are turning right over Key West and If you look "north" you can see the south end of the everglades....Plus I added 7 mile bridge in.
