frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Last week Antonio, a coworker turned good friend, asked if I would be interested in flying somewhere this morning. \u00a0Of course the answer was yes! \u00a0We rented a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Diamond_DA20\">Diamond DA-20<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.traxair.com\/\">TraxAir<\/a>, a training facility located at Orlando Executive Airport. \u00a0I had ridden in an ultralight sport aircraft before, but never a general aviation aircraft. \u00a0The difference in how smooth the ride was surprised me, the DA20 was incredible! \u00a0We landed in Winter Haven (GIF) and then ate at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/26\/1654962\/restaurant\/Orlando\/Pappys-Grill-Winter-Haven\">Pappy&#8217;s Grill<\/a>, which served a very reasonably priced and delicious breakfast. \u00a0After we were done with breakfast, we headed over to Lake Jessup and practiced a few stalls, then headed back to Orlando Executive and returned the plane.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2134 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a
