A familiar Bearhawk Patrol dropped into the Massey ranch today in Central Florida:

Familiar scenery. You near Ocala?

[Wayne Massey]

Yep just south of Ocala. Closest to Okahumpka. Say that three times in a row

[Chris In Milwaukee]

Cool . Folks lived in Ocala, then Dunnellon, and now Crystal River.

Nice Patrol footage!

That video sent me straight back into the garage.

That takeoff is very impressive! The 'airstrip' looks to be no more than 1600', I'd guess. Looks like he crossed the departure tree line better than 200' above.
That's pretty darned comfortable in my book!

thanks for the video!

Yep take off roll was about 200' max and he was over the end of the runway well above 500' AGL (its a 2,000' strip). It wasn't even a preplanned video so it was just a normal take off and climb in a Bearhawk Patrol. Next time I'll tell Andy that I'm going to video his take off and climb so "give it your best!"
