In the spirit of another thread from another member who has shared his journey to pick up his mystery speedy, I thought it would be only appropriate that I share mine as well. I will be travelling from Boston to the OB destination 5078 miles away with the family. The trip started on 8/19, but will not be able to pick it up until the 25th. But in the meantime, I'll post pics of where myself and my PO will be off to, and you can guess where we are.....Thanks for tagging along on this journey!

NICE. I loved the last "mystery watch pickup"-thread

I'll take a wild guess that you're at Fernandina or Jacksonville beach. Heading to the Jacksonville OB.

Have a excellent trip. All the best and do share more photos

Here's my guess. Are these your local wheels while you wait to pick up the new speedy? 😉

everybody a gansta until MCAS kicks in
On an MD-88? That's a steam powered aircraft 😝

The 737-MAX was just pretending to be steam powered 🙁

Not quite...we’re on the ground parked at the gate with the motors off in that pic.

What you’re seeing indicating ~ 350kts is the “barber pole” or the maximum allowed indicated airspeed...the other needle on that gauge is the actual indicated airspeed...which is zero.

These sorts of threads are fun. Good luck with the pick up....from as close to the pointy end as a PAX can get.
