Get that sunscreen and those sun glasses ready because we’re going to the Sunshine State for some scenic flying!
We’ll start at Key West International Airport and fly along the Overseas Highway (US 1).
At Islamorada we will make a left turn and make our way to the beautiful Everglades. Be on the lookout for alligators!
After spending some time there, we’ll continue the flight along the shoreline towards Key Largo and Ocean Reef Club. Continuing on, the route will take us to Miami where we will do a bit of scenic flying and celebrity spotting, make sure to bring your camera!
For the final leg of the flight, we’ll follow the coastline all the way up north until we reach our destination airport: Fort Lauderdale Executive.
