Tuesday morning, we loaded up the aircraft and taxied to Marathon's Runway 25 for departure. Our route of flight was from Marathon (MTH) Hwy mile marker MM50, in the middle Keys down to the Sugarloaf Resort MM17 at Sugarloaf Airport. (Most of the flight was at 700ft. MSL over the bridges, dropping down to 500 ft. MSL over land.)
Sugarloaf is a private airport in the Lower Keys just east of KeyWest Naval Air station.
We departed Marathon heading west over Boot Key Harbor,
and soon we were over the seven mile bridge.
We were a flight of two, with my son Tom flying my Citabria, accompanied by his wife, Lori.
My wife Julie flew right seat in Xenon TurboCopter 719MB.
