Ok now something doesn’t make sense…..If they are heading at 1-1-0 (SSE) from Orlando they would be over the Atlantic and heading for Freeport Bahamas. To go for the Key West she should be heading 180 to 190 (S) and be around 3500 ft.
The airplane looks real, which is better than most cartoonists do with things like that. Lots of toy airplanes have an axle between the wheels; she probably used a toy as a model.
She identifies it on the radio as a Beaver. I am aware that the real Beaver does not have an axle as depicted here, but she did pretty good the other day on drawing the cowling & air intake similar to the real one.

That plane’s cowling indicates that it has a radial engine (P&W 985) and the last Beaver with that engine was produced in 1967. So it’s nearly 50 years old, bare minimum. A bit creaky to be flying through storms.

How ironic they are flying in a DeHavilland “Beaver”, a strong airplane highly favored around the world by “bush” pilots.
