Florida Airplane & Airboat Vacations

Survey for BCP members & BCP member discount! We are gearing up for our winter flying season in FL and checking the interest of BCP menbers who are interested in a nice winter get-a-way flying & airboating vacation. We start moving equipement down to Florida this week starting with our C180 on Aerocet 3500L's for float training and may also have a cub available if enough interest. We also have a Super Cub on 31" Bushwheels and a C185 we can bring down for tailwheel instruction, coastal flying plus adventures to the Keys & the Bahama's. We are the only place that will give you the opportuntiy to drive-[fly] a airboat also. We have 350 V-8 powered Diamonback and 160 Lycoming powered Gilleo airboats for some great fun riding throughout the outback.There are some BCP members here who have flown with us, but y'all need to come on down airboating with us also for some real fun at the World Famous Cherry Pocket Resturant & Fish Camp! There are cabin rentals available plus a great food, outdoor Tiki Boat bar with live music! Let us know if what your interest is at [email protected]

Re: Florida Airplane & Airboat Vacations

That sounds mighty interesting. I'm already missing my 180 floatplane and I only put it away for the winter last weekend. What part of Florida are you in?

South of Orlando and east of Winterhaven on Lake Pierce, see www.cherrypocket.com for directions. Lots of lakes to splash in and great float flying!

Hope to get over next Sun&Fun again...Airboats sound fun. Would you be planning on having the 185 for solo hire?
