James,
Many thanks for your prompt reply and the useful information. I shall
be based for several days at St Simon's Island, alongside KSSI, so KBQK
is pretty close. I called into St Augustine for a very brief visit 2
years ago and I seem to remember a pretty good café there and plenty of
GA. I also plan to re-visit KSFB as we have some time in Orlando but
KOPF and KMIA are too far south for this visit. We might have time to
visit the pan handle (depends how far along Crestview is) but we have a
fairly tight itinerary from Orlando back to Atlanta and I do want to
take in Warner Robins Air & Space Museum.
Thanks for the insight, it is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
David.

In the pan handle in the town of Crestview is a very New scrapping operation , Tom Sikes airport .
