Learned to fly here
Learned to fly here in 2013. Miami Gliders is a great place to get your pilot training.

Great for practice
I like to come down here when the wind is blowing and practice crosswind landings. It is uncontrolled and not very busy and has runways at right angles so if there is a wind, then there is a crosswind runway. Wind in South Florida is usually 090, less often 270.
