St. Augustine Vlog with Riley Roth
Helicopter Tour of ST. Augustine FL.
As part of our 2010 vacation my wife and I spend several days in St. Augustine FL. and to end the trip with a bang decided to go for a helicopter tour.
The beautiful city of St. Augustine is located north of Cape Canaveral and it is the oldest city in FL. Filled with colonial edification, a Spanish Cathedral, and several history museums such as the Thomas Edison Museum of Light this small city is filled with rich history and culture. The Flagler College is also a great place to visit and admire the Tiffany & CO. one of the kind decorations and some of the most expensive windows in the world located inside of the Cafeteria. Stop by the Fountain of Youth and rejuvenate yourself with some mineral water and last but not least make sure to check out the barracks at the Castillo de San Marcos Fort, and stay for the canon fire ceremony.
I encourage anyone visiting Florida to put this city towards the top of your list. You will not be disappointed.
P.S. Sorry for the shaky camera.

St. Augustine (Spanish: San Agustín) is a city in Northeast Florida and the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement and port in the continental United States. The county seat of St. Johns County, it is part of Florida's First Coast region and the Jacksonville metropolitan area. According to the 2010 census, the city population was 12,975.
San Agustín was founded in September 1565 by Spanish admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, and subsequently served as the capital of Spanish Florida for two hundred years. It remained the capital of East Florida as the territory changed hands between the Spanish and British, and remained the capital of the Florida Territory until it was moved to Tallahassee in 1824. Since the late 19th century, its historical character has made the city a major tourist attraction. It is the headquarters for the Florida National Guard.
Founding of St. Augustine
A palisaded Timucua village, in an engraving supposedly based on a sketch by Jacques le Moyne
Pedro Menéndez de Avilés sighted land on August 28, 1565. As this was the feast day of Augustine of Hippo, the territory was named San Agustín. The Spanish sailed through the St. Augustine Inlet into Matanzas Bay and disembarked near the Timucua town of Seloy on September 7.Menéndez's goal was to dig a quick fortification to protect his people and supplies as they were unloaded from the ships, and then to take a more proper survey of the area to determine the best location for the fort. The location of this early fort has been confirmed through archaeological excavations directed by Kathleen Deagan on the grounds of what is now the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park. It is known that the Spanish occupied several structures in Seloy, the chief of which, known as Chief Seloy, was allied with the Saturiwa, Laudonnière's allies. It is possible, but undemonstrated, that Menéndez fortified one of the occupied Timucua structures as this first fort at Seloy. In the meantime, Jean Ribault, Laudonnière's old commander, arrived at Fort Caroline with more settlers for the colony, as well as soldiers and weapons to defend them. He also took over the governorship of the settlement. Despite Laudonnière's wishes, Ribault put most of these soldiers aboard his ships for an assault on St. Augustine. However, he was surprised at sea by a violent storm lasting several days. This gave Menéndez the opportunity to march his forces overland for surprise dawn attack on the Fort Caroline garrison, which then numbered several hundred people. Laudonnière and some survivors fled to the woods, and the Spanish killed almost everyone in the fort except for the women and children. With the French displaced, Menéndez rechristened the fort as San Mateo, and appropriated it for his own purposes. The Spanish then returned south and eventually encountered the survivors of Ribault's fleet near the inlet at the southern end of Anastasia Island. Menéndez executed most of the survivors, including Ribault; the inlet was thus named for the Spanish word for slaughters, matanzas.
The first slaves in the territory that we now regard as the United States were brought to St. Augustine on the day it was founded by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés on September 8, 1565. Menéndez's contract with King Phillip afforded him three years to import 500 African slaves. In 1566, Martín de Argüelles was born in San Agustín, the first European child who was recorded as born in the continental United States. Argüelles was born in San Agustín 21 years before the English settlement at Roanoke Island in Virginia Colony, and 42 years before the successful settlements of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Jamestown, Virginia. Additionally, the first recorded birth of a black child in the continental United States is in the Cathedral Parish Archives. Augustin was recorded as born in the year 1606, thirteen years before enslaved Africans were first brought to the English colony at Jamestown in 1619. In territory under the jurisdiction of the United States, only Puerto Rico has continuously occupied European-established settlements older than St. Augustine.

About the Fort
(From www .nps. gov /casa)
How old is the fort? Construction began on October 2, 1672 so the fort is over 333 years old.
Who built the fort? Why did they build it here? The Castillo was built by the Spanish to protect their interests in La Florida. With the discovery and use of the Gulf Stream by the Spanish Treasure fleets it became important to establish a military outpost to keep rival powers and pirates from threatening Spanish commerce.
How long did it take to build the fort? The Castillo has has two major construction periods, from 1672 to its initial completion in 1695, and again from 1738 to 1756. This final renovation is commemorated by the dedicatory plaque above the sally port entrance to the fort.
What is Coquina? Where does it come from? Coquina (Spanish for tiny shell), is a soft limestone made up of broken shells and sand cemented together by calcium carbonate, essentially creating a natural form of concrete. The stone for the Castillo was quarried on nearby Anastasia island.
What does Castillo mean? Castillo is the Spanish word for castle. Although no king or queen lived here, the Castillo de San Marcos was like a castle in one way-- it was used to defend a town.

Classic Aero-TV: St. Augustine Airshow - Honoring Our Military Through Flight
Air Show Action Like This Never Gets Old...
This is a perfect “timeout” video. It’s 3 ½ minutes of nonstop in-flight action. You’ll see every type of acrobatic airplane from jet teams, to biplanes, to a Citabria Decathlon doing things that just don’t look right, to wing walkers, and even a fire breathing dragon. It’s the very best of the 2011 St. Augustine airshow.
The outstanding videography skips the talking and goes straight to the action. Watch it the first time for the excitement and the second time to pick out your favorite scene. If you’re looking for a quick pick-me-up, forget about coffee and take a quick airshow break. This video is just plain fun.

Between World War I and World War II, WACO built almost twice as many aircraft as any other manufacturer, with more WACO's registered than the aircraft of any other company. The Waco Custom Cabins were a series of up-market single-engined four-to-five-seat cabin sesquiplanes of the late 1930s produced by the Waco Aircraft Company of the United States. Custom Cabin was Waco's own description of the aircraft which despite minor differences, were all fabric-covered biplanes.(wiki)
