I think it was about 10 minutes. It felt like both a long time and a short time!

We were in St. Augustine... seeing the coastline was just breathtaking. Seeing it upside down even more so! :lol:

Superb stuff. I'm not jealous at all. MUCH!!!!

Good to see the pilot wearing a tool watch for what it's design for - aviation! Most of us are desk pilots (or divers) so it's always good to see one working in the field!
