Naples in May
Hey all,. .. .Whats the weather like towards the end of April going into mid-may? Thinking of doing 50 hours out there over four weeks so wondering if it'd be a struggle?. .. .Cheers . .BUDGIE

BUDGIE,. .. .Naples weather is a funny thing. Up to about 5 years ago, in the Summers there would be thunderstorms every afternoon at 4:30p.m. and last an hour. With all the contruction in our area, the weather pattern for the summer has changed. The afternoon thunderstorms that we used to set our watches by rarely make it to Naples anymore. They stop in the Everglades.. .. .In the winters on cool still nights we get an early morning patchy ground fog. But we are back to flying by 9:30a.m.. .. .If you are looking to build 50 hours, 4 weeks is more than enough time.. .. .Happy Flying,. .. .Capt. Richard J. Gentil, Pres.. .Naples Air Center, Inc.

Jocko: I don't think he's advertising, he's answering questions.. .. .As one who flew at his establishment last month, I'd gladly speak up for NAC! No connection except for a PPL/IR that I wouldn't have, were it not for the competence and professionalism of the instructors etc at NAC. . .. .Naples is an interesting place - sort of Costa Geriatrica, with an excellent little airport, liberally sprinkled with executive jets ("Kerosene Comets" the Tower Controller called them more than once). . .. .It's FLAT. In over two weeks, I don't think I saw anywhere lower than sea level or higher than about 25 feet AMSL (other than TV towers and the like). If you like the mountains of California, you'll be in for a shock.
