Yeah, so just from my previous military experience as we're getting over the Gulf of Mexico,

seeing some of the military training areas, they do a lot of it over the water and just seeing

some of those those flares being punched off by some of the military, likely Air Force aircraft.

Yeah, it gave us a little bit of fireworks along the way.

I mean, we were well, well, clear, you know, miles and miles miles away from it. But just seeing that, again, it gave us a little bit of fireworks along the way. I mean, we were well, well, clear, you know, miles and miles, miles away from it. But just seeing that, again, it kept us active and

something more to talk about for us. We're operating and you just kind of take for granted what

else is going on in the airspace until you see something like that. So it's, it was amazing.

And then it really gets down to the controllers to what they are viewing.

It's not just our Cirrus going across Florida.

They're managing a whole bunch of other aircraft out there.

That's Luke Fisher talking.

And in a moment, we'll talk with him about what it was like buying a 2016 Cirrus SR 22 in Miami, Florida,

and then flying it across the country with me to get it to Palo Alto, California,

where it's now for rent at the West Valley Flying Club. Also during the flight, we tested

Lightspeed's wireless headset called the Tango, and I tested the tracking and satellite text

message capabilities of the Garmin in reach, which we

use to talk with many of our Patreon supporters during the trip.

So please stick around to the end of the show to hear my reviews of those devices after our

conversation with Luke.
