    Great photos, I like the first the most, and to all those wondering, that is not a Nuke plant pictured, I forget what it is, but it isnt a Nuker.

    Are you telling us that those two huge cooling towers on the right aren't for a nuclear power plant?
    I believe you, but if not what are they? I've never seen a nuke plant that didn't have them. Actually, I never knew that plants besides nuclear plants had towers like that. *shrug* By the way, nice pictures!

    Yeah, but like Paul said, it's not a nuclear facility. Don't ask me, he said it. LOL.

    Ditto on the great shots. That is just a coal or oil fired plant. I also think they can burn garbage there. It's on the east side of Orlando. I believe it's OUC. The nuke plant is Crystal River on the gulf coast. This one is now decommissioned but used to run on Oil brought down the St. Johns. There is another plant to the west of this one that was just converted to gas. They tore down 2 stacks that were about 500ft tall. Good VFR check points.
