Mitch Shipley reports:

It’s the “morning after” the flight yesterday and upon a
non-frosty beverage colored reflection I have to agree with you. It’s pretty
darn good flying in Florida now. The climb I got after the Wallaby turn-point
right over US27  is the best climb I ever remember having in Florida. Solid
800 fpm yielding a 2700’ climb in 15 turns / 4 ½ minutes ( 2700’/270 sec =
10’/sec and ~200’ per 360). You’ll recognize where it lifted off and have seen
the types of cloud streets that develop routinely over US27. Had I not done the
five safety turns for 400’ five miles out of Quest, the downwind leg from
Wallaby would have been 36 vs 38 minutes – and it wasn’t even a straight line
run.
