Florida Keys Marathon International Airport, Marathon, Florida

A busy GA airport in the middle of the Keys. It's home to the EAA Chapter 1241 Air Museum, and the aircraft of the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District, both of whom welcomed us warmly.

Waco UPF-7 NC30186 (N30186) Doing pleasure flights, having been in the static lineup at the airshow. I took a flight - the views over the Keys are stunning. It was painted in Venezuelan AF colours for a potential buyer, but the sale fell through, and I saw it a few days later for sale at Sun'n Fun.
