FLL Air and Sea Show

[Dr Pokenhiemer]

I saw the Snowbirds at Lakeland yesterday. A better name for them would be the Lame Ducks! Pretty sloppy.

FYI the Blue Angels are flying out of Dopa Locka. Local 10 had a little blurb on them, and had video of them landing there. I'm going to head down there saturday and try to find a good spot to watch them launch.

The F14 will fly both days. Two passes. One high speed. One into the vertical with full afterburner. It is the last F14 demo. How do I know? Got drunk with the guys from the Tomcatters last night at Hard Rock!

Taking off for FLL right now.

Looks like they are using 13 to avoid the aerobatic area. Operations seem to be continuing as normal.

Will Gulfstream be flying the B1900, EMB120, or both at the air show? I heard they will be a part of the Coast Guard rescue demonstration.

I went today, was pretty good. The F-14 did one kind of high speed pass way off shore and that was it. No F-22 or V-22, but I got to see Sean Tucker in a Lancair 400 doing mild acro. I also saw a F-16 do a high alpha pass, like the F-18's do. I didn't think it could even do that. Anyway, I am going to Dopa Locka tomorrow to see whats going on down there.

Great Show! Lots of illegals who b!tched about how crappy the show was. I thought you have to pay taxes and have legal rights to whine about airshows. Right?

Hey Groundpounder, I had my Banyan hat on! Yee Haw!

 

[Groundpounder]

Do I know you? Who/what do you fly? PM me if you want. The view at Opa Locka was cool, most everything did at least one flyby when they returned for landing, and I had a good spot right near the runway.

Another good show today! Got good and drunk too.

GP,
You might know me.............I worked at Banyan a few years ago on the line. I also flew a CE550 with a boat company out of their for a while.
