Soar Key West

Early this morning after a big breakfast we sat out to do some exploring at the Key West International Airport, for the "Soar Key West" event.

After the quick ride over, I see someone took my parking spot!

After signing up, the kids were taken out to the helicopter, then got a personal tour of a small portion of the Florida Keys.

They even gave you a vintage headcover, and goggles!


It was a great morning in the Florida Keys, that happened in the air this time instead of in, or under the water! What would an event be, without some type of "Conch Cruiser"?
