wow no alpacas? as far as i'm concerned there is absolutely no incentive to ever go back to milton now...that is assuming that there was an incentive in the first place.

So long Alpacas...
- Thread starter IKE
- Start date
I dunno if the people who run the alpaca farm are tree-huggers or not, but they managed to scare big Navy into telling us that if we fly over it, we'd possibly lose our wings. Go figure, fuckin' hairy ass nasty alpacas.
Someone flew over the alpaca farm. One of the alpaca's freaked out and ran into the fence and broke its leg. The owner called and complained. The end result was the no fly zone.
Little more complicated than that, the owner sued the Govt and won a settlement for a decent amount of money...thus a no fly at any alt above...
Is there still a no fly area for helicopters only near the Crestview vortac?
As of Nov 2015 there was still a no fly zone over the horse farm in the eastern operating area.

No alpacas, but we where restricted from overflying this place back in the day because of the panic that was caused in the neighboring turkey farms back in the day.

Florala has its burritos and Bay minette still has the free bbq!
Amazing 21 years later. Two BI students in the eastern instrument area - an hour for lunch at Florala. Perfect day.
Sigh. Didn't even know that place existed before taking 95 through the Carolinas. Racist much? Not you, the mascot.
There's a shitton of billboards on I-95 for the place covering most of South Carolina. They've usually got some cheesy fat bandido "Pedro" with a sombrero and a huge mustache, and quite a few also play on the old stereotype about how Hispanic people "speeka da eeenglish, Señor." After about 100 miles of that stuff, it gets old.
It is a tourist trap. Grew up just a few miles from I-95 in SC - the billboards were part of the normal scenery you saw every day. A parody can be seen in The Simpsons episode "Bart vs. Australia." Marge and Lisa visit a gift shop titled South O' the Equator Gift Shoppe. Pedro is featured in the window of the gift shop with a sign stating "Pedro Sez: Eet's High Koala-T!"
Went there 4 out of 5 days this week. Hot gas and the burritos are the big attraction.Are there still burritos at Florala airport? That place was responsible for my height weight standards waiver as an IP at '18
I've seen plenty of fat dudes wearing sombreros and serapes in Mexico who speak in broken English. Not sure why that's considered a racist portrayal. It's no different from using someone in a cowboy outfit to represent a western themed establishment, and I don't think anyone would bat an eye at that, right?
