West side of Boca Raton Airport. Near the intersection of Park and Banyan Trail

Cecil DP · April 13, 2008, 05:46:20 PM

Correction about 3 miles off the coast of Ft Lauderdale

If I'm reading this correctly: 26° 22.37' N , 080° 07.95' W, that puts you in Boca Raton, according to Google Earth.

According to Street Atlas 7, you are on the south side of the 2500-2699 block of Timber Creek Circle NW in Boca Raton.

I'm afraid I can't tell you which tree you're sitting under. Sorry.

Geocaching, without the cache!!

Mister Johnny · April 13, 2008, 06:56:19 PM

Yes, you are correct, Boca Raton, FL. I thought I loaded a different image. As an old Sergeant of mine would say, "that's were the problem is, you were thinking"

Near Lilly Heights Park, located in Butler, WI, Part of Millwaukee.

Smack dab in the middle of a swamp or water overflow?

Looks like you had some issues that day with the time stamp on your camera, too.

That's just sadistic! How are your people going to find it, not to mention retrieve it?

mikeylikey · April 15, 2008, 03:03:02 AM

^ Snorkel and a nose-plug!

That's the plan! If I have a pilot bleeding out in a waterborne cockpit, I'm not waiting twenty minutes for water rescue to show up. Practice like you play, train as you'll perform

The beacon wouldn't be any more than a foot or two under water, and I'd quietly stow a life jacket in the vehicle for the lucky coastie-to-be (I don't intend to have any drownings, that quarry's seen enough of them).

How are you going to get out to it? You guys have pontoons on your aircraft?
