Flying to destin on Cessna in 2 weeks. I'll keep my eyes open


Dude, no lie, I fricking hate that airport. It's ridiculously busy and it's an uncontrolled field(sorta). And there is controlled airspace all around it but a lot of pilots don't realize it's controlled. You have a mix of newbie Cessna drivers, newbie fighter pilots, and experienced corporate pilots all in a really small area. Do your pilot a favor and help him keep an eye out for traffic. We used to have a Baron that we normally flew single pilot but when we went to Destin we took an extra pilot just for the extra set of eyeball. Especially this time of year.

I agree. Destin's airport is a lot busier than I thought it would be. I stayed at a condo near there last month. Literally one small jet after another was taking off or landing. I had no idea that many private jets would be flying into destin. $$$$$$$
