My First Solo Flight at North Central State Airport
Just a simple solo flight - this is one of my runs through the pattern (sped up to keep it a reasonable length). I was flying a Cessna 172R based out of Providence, RI. For my next ones, I'll need to figure out a better way to mount the GoPro so it doesn't look so bumpy - it was a smooth day! Thanks to Bill at Horizon Aviation (

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport - Miami, Florida (U.S.A.)
Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport (IATA: TMB, ICAO: KTMB, FAA LID: TMB) is a public airport located in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States, 13 miles (21 km) southwest of Downtown Miami. It is operated by the Miami-Dade Aviation Department.
The airport was originally called Tamiami Airport for its location next to the Tamiami Trail. Growth of the surrounding area and the nearby flight path for Miami International Airport forced the airport to relocate further to the southwest, near the community of Kendall. Florida International University is now located on the site of the old Tamiami Airport. The Kendall-Tamiami airport is owned and operated by the Miami-Dade Aviation Department. There are 450 aircraft based there, primarily light single-engine propeller planes.
The airport is a port of entry with U.S. Customs personnel on hand, although it is not certified for commercial airline use. In recent years, it has gained increasing popularity as a corporate aviation terminal.
It is the main airbase of the Miami-Dade Police Aviation Unit, and also houses the Miami-Dade College's aviation programs. The Wings Over Miami aviation museum is also located at the field.
The airport is also home to Tamiami Composite Squadron (SER-FL-355), a local squadron of the Civil Air Patrol (United States Air Force Auxiliary), whose mission includes aerial and ground search and rescue.
Fire protection at the airport is provided by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department Station 24.

Everglades Jetport (1969) remnant: a 2-mile runway (10,499x150 feet) to nowhere
Begun in 1968, the Everglades Jetport was to be a six runway airport for supersonic aircraft -- five times larger than JFK in New York and several times larger than any existing airport. Because of environmental concerns, construction was halted after the completion of just one runway which is now known as TNT -- Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport (Excerpt) The 24,960 acre property has approximately 900 acres of developed and operational land; the remaining area is managed and operated by the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission. Since its original configuration, the airport's most notable enhancements have been a runway overlay and lighting upgrade in 1992, costing $3.5 million, and taxiway rejuvenation in 1996, costing $100,000.
Jetport is in the center:

8/7/2009 - The Big Cypress Jetport and the most ambitious aviation plan ever
11/10/2009 - (Excerpts) In 1968, the [Miami-Dade County] port authority bought a 39-square-mile site just north of Everglades National Park and quickly built a training runway ... for easy access to the site from both coasts, the authority wanted a 1,000-foot-wide transportation corridor built from coast to coast. The corridor would include a new interstate highway, a high-speed mass transit system, even a recreational waterway for airboats and waterfoils.
However, a coalition of hunters, conservationists and citizen activists -- including, for the first time but far from the last in her long life, Marjory Stoneman Douglas -- defeated the jetport plan. They were aided in no small part by the first-ever environmental impact study, written by a group led by Aldo Leopold's son, Luna.
But that's the nature of the unnatural world of Florida. No development project is ever completely dead, not even the ones thought buried 40 years ago.

Perhaps it was inevitable that Dade County would propose to build the world's largest airport complex. Such a complex would serve the tourist industry, which in 1970 provided nearly 51.1 billion to the economy of the area (Davis, 1972). Businessmen for many years have advocated a policy of expanding tourism that naturally would require enlarging the aviation center serving south Florida.
As an alternative to enlarging the existing aviation center, the Dade County Port Authority began a search for a suitable location for a jet training facility late in 1965. The immediate need to supply a jet training facility, coupled with the outlook for additional traffic, suggested to the business community a need to create a large aviation complex to serve all south Florida. By September 1968, the Port Authority selected a 101-km2 (39-mi2) site in the Big Cypress Swamp shown in figure 1 -

7/12/1969 - Editorial: Everglades Jetport -- A Blueprint for Disaster
Human history, wrote H. G. Wells, more and more becomes a race between education and catastrophe. A precise illustration of his thesis, in terms of land use, is the 39-square-mile jetport about to be built (unless someone stops it) in the heart of the Everglades.

2014 Aviation Day at Page Field in Fort Myers, Florida
It was an event of great heights. Saturday was Aviation Day at Page Field Airport in Fort Myers.
The free event was hosted by the Lee County Port Authority, and draws in thousands of people from the local community.
The featured aircraft this year were three World War II planes -- including a B-25J Mitchell twin-engine bomber, a P-51 Mustang fighter plane and a C-47 Skytrain military transport aircraft that participated in the Normandy invasion.
Free plane and helicopter rides were also available for attendees to enjoy.
We brought over two airplanes from our Warbird museum in Titusville. The second airplane is a Mitchell B-25 -- that's the same airplane that Doolittle flew off the carrier to attack Japan during World War II, said pilot Bob Boswell.
The event was held to raise awareness for local airports. It was also a fundraiser for the Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida as canned food donations were collected all day.
