Sky dancers, Team 31 departed Opa Locka on Tuesday morning with clear skies and beautiful weather.
First stop was in New Smyrna Beach for fuel: both the plane and the pilots needed to be fed! nite: great burgers at the restaurant by the airport!)
Next stop Lumberton, North Carolina , where the welcome and hospitality was more than expected. Troy stayed after hours to assist in parking the plane , loaning us a crew car , and directing us to a nice hotel for a good nights rest. Great dinner at Candy Sue's in downtown Lumberton, and than back to the plane for our next leg of flight.
Several hours later, we landed at Stafford Regional Airport in Fredericksburg,Va., where the race starts this coming Tuesday, June 22.
Lots of racers already at the airport with just a few battling the weather through Texas and Arkansas to arrive in time for the start.
