- At the end of a trip to Deland Florida to visit family, we had a free day to explore the area a little bit on the way back. Even though the weather was not the best for flying, we decided to take a trip south down the coast to Titusville, then back up to St. Augustine.
Florida is known for quickly changing and sometimes volatile weather, and this day was no exception. Rain and Storms came in from west to east over Florida that day, and cut off our flightpath back to St. Augustine for 2 hours. It is the nature of VFR flying. But, the storms offered some beautiful flying, great aerial shots, and scenic views of the Florida Coast.

Video starts in 1:10.
9:40 "extreme" precipitation. yikes!
28:45 love that sun patch.
nice job on the tracking/callouts (parachutes and then the c172). that's a lot of work in editing.
@@flysport_tedder Thanks, i just became your newest subscriber. And, yes editing is sometimes time consuming . Thanks for noticing. Cheers!
Dodging Parachutes is always nerve racking … well done
Hi,
Great video! I wish I had known you were going to be at X21. I would have loved to have met you guys!

Hi Jack, thanks... yes I tried to contact you back then. This trip was 6 months ago haha. At the time, For some reason, youtube would not let me post a comment on your videos. We will make it next time!!

Are you guys gonna go to Sun and Fun? We will be there the last few days, Sat and Sun... maybe we can meet there for lunch.
Hi Rob,
We are undecided at this point.
For us, the last few years have been Sun n Not So Much Fun.....
We flew in and camped 2 years ago. Worst experience camping at an aviation show ever!! Red clay and dirt in everything. Showers were gross. plane was filthy. not gonna do that again.
We are staying at hotal in Plant City this year. Anxious to see the new TL Sparker in person.2 days at show is more than enough.
Third?? Lol. I love it.
First!
hi Dan!
When flying VFR, what would happen if you accidentally fly through one of the clouds?
Hi. Thanks for the comment. So there are a lot of rules pertaining to clouds and VFR flying. Cloud clearances and distances you should maintain to be legal and safe. In the day time you can usually see how close you are and avoid flying in to them. If the clouds are light and do not obscure your ability to see past 3 miles or see the ground or the blue sky then you are still legal VFR as long as your are maintaining legal distances from clouds that are opaque and obscure visibility through them. If you end up flying in to a cloud, don't panic, but don't trust your feelings or senses, since you can not see or "feel" up and down. You CAN see your HSI, artificial horizon, and secondary instruments, like altimeter and heading. Use and trust your instruments. Use the instruments to keep the plane in controlled and level flight, and then turn around 180 heading and fly out back the way you came. That is what we are trained. Ultimately stuff can happen so pilots have an emergency rule that says a pilot can do whatever is needed to do keep safe and stay alive, even if you have to break other rules to do that. VFR Pilots accidentally fly in to clouds or are forced in to clouds all the time. Follow your training. There are no "airplane police" up there if you do accidentally fly in to IMC.... so ultimately think ahead, be mindful of what "could happen" and plan for contingencies, fly safe, be courteous to other pilots, and follow rules. Hopefully that is what you are asking?
BTW the cameras, sun angle and other factors like color correction make the clouds look more opaque and closer than they really are in my videos. I generally try to follow the legal vfr rules. i can always see the ground when flying through scattered clouds. I also have some personal minimums I follow to keep safe for me. Everyone is different in this regard.
Early in my private pilot training, my CFI was a US Navy doctor and did not suffer fools - I asked him: How can you tell 2000 feet to the left or right of a cloud (thinking there was a trick, like putting your fist on the glare shield or something)? He snapped, "JUST STAY CLEAR OF THE F**KING CLOUDS!!!" I couldn't help but laugh... So when flying VFR, stay the f**k away from clouds... there's no "accidentally". He had some memorable lines.
@jeffreyhughes7107 Wise words from a wise man. You used to never know when a jet was gonna bust right through them.
i liked first, do i get a prize?
Yes, you get a free ride!!! Hi Uncle Scotty!
