Hi Katie,
The problem is the airplane symbol entries:
<symbol color="155,48,255" coordtype="LATLON" filled="false" fulllatlon="false" 
name="Glyph 3" points="24.501964,-80.502705,8800.000000" scale="1.0" 
symbol="AIRPLANE3D" times="2006-03-01 01:00:00Z"/> 

The coordtype is "LATLON" so we are expecting consecutive lat/lon pairs in the 
points attribute. We treat the extra "8800" in the string as the LAT of the 
next pair and then go to read the LON which causes the error. You should set 
the coordtype to be LATLONALT.
