Great flight yesterday morning to meet my son in Williston near Gainesville. Flew him around the patch there a couple of times. Beautiful horse and springs country. I plan to go up there some more to explore and photograph. Here a link to a video clip of the MTO flying sweetly hands off in trim and a few pics.

Thanks for sharing. I used to keep my Twin Comanche and MiniMax at Williston. Really nice area for flying...and like you said...lots of horse tracks.

Still skydiving there?
 
Ahh, Williston...used to be the cheapest avgas in Florida. I rented a house a bit further North at "Flying Ten" airstrip (grass) while my wife went to UofF. I was living in Fort Lauderdale at the time, and flew up every weekend for about 4.5 years. I bought a LOT of gas at Williston. Thanks for the memory.
 
Wow, beautiful. I love flying all over the world with friends.
Thanks for sharing the adventure.
