They are out of Sanford Florida. This restoration was just completed last year. Here's their website. http://skyhawkventures.com/

Nice shots Bill! I'll be there tomorrow. :drink3:

Great shots Bill. My Mom and Dad watched all the air traffic from my house in Florida and told me all about it. I was in Kissemmee 2 weeks ago to bring a set of wings back north. I should have adjusted my schedule! JOE

Thanks for sharing those pics Bill. "By Request" sure looks nice. Hoping I'm able to sneak away from work next week to see her at the Carolinas Aviation Museum in Charlotte. Fingers crossed!

Both you guys got some great shots. My Dad and I visited with the A4 mechanic. Was a real informative visit since my Dad was on a carrier with them and this guy knew a lot about the airplane as well. Glad you missed the gal straddling the cannon shell in front of the gun nosed B25. I was starting to wonder if I was at S&F or a strip club. :roll:

Great pics. I didn't know an air show could be done at night. Never really gave it much thought actually but it does look neat. I was always fascinated by Harriers and the way they work. Seen a few at air shows.

The night show was actually pretty cool. That was my first time staying for their Friday night show. Fire works coming off of planes and a helicopter was a first for me.

That was also my first time seeing a Harrier, and I couldn't believe how loud it was while it was hovering. It almost hurt my ears.

Thanks for posting. I'm slowly going through my pics. Unfortunately I was there on Sunday, not much left by then. Saw the F8F and Yak leave.
