<div>The two main hotbeds of pattern activity in FL are in Apopka (northern suburb of Orlando), and Ft. Walton Beach, many hours away. There are a couple of people who fly in Ocala (Ivan K has a place there now). Bill Ahrens and Brett Wickhizer are both in Jacksonville. Our D3 DVP, Larry Odom is in Lakeland. I don't know of anyone in the Naples part of FL. Southern FL has a lot of IMAC activity, but I don't know if any of it is around Naples.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There will be a contest in Sebring, FL in mid Feb that may be your best bet. Larry can fill you in on the details.</div>

My very close friend Paul, has stage 4 cancer and lives in Naples Florida. Needless to say, as a close friend I will be travelling Florida to visit him soon.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Paul has always had an interest in R/C airplanes. He built a Falcon 56 years ago; but, never had any real success flying it. I was out of the hobby at the time.
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>If anybody flys or knows somebody who flys pattern in southwest Florida I would be very much indebted if Paul and I could watch a practice session. I'd really like to show him the kind of flying we do. If a club in area has some kind of program where he could get some stick time, that would be even better. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hopefully during my visit I'll be able to straighten out the troubles he is having with the indoor helicopter I bought him awhile ago. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At this point he is still 100% ambulatory and can travel, any help showing my friend our world of pattern would be greatly appreciated. </div>
<div><br>

<div>PS I hope its warm down there in Florida, it was 6 degrees here in Boise this morning.</div>
