Your usual high standard of excellence. Great job!

Did the 104 fly while you were there?

Cavanaugh Skyraider a no-show on Friday. Did see their trailer just off the flightline.
Didn't attend Saturday, these photos from Friday's show.

Starfighters F-104 with Brig. Gen. Steve Ritchie in the rear seat.

This was Thunderbird #6's first show, with rest of season on hold, hopefully not his last.

Not part of show, R4D sitting on the other side of the airport for several months now, from the old National Warplane Museum in Elmira NY.

Will post some more with props soon as I get a chance.

The Skyraider flew over the field on Friday but I lost track of it after that. It did not show up on the warbird flightline.

So these photos again from Friday.

This is the first time since 2004 I couldn't attend the TICO Airshow since I had to go out of town. I was watching the weather and looked like a big storm was heading towards Titusville - I had heard that MCO had 86 mph winds, Orlando Executive where I work had a 62 mph wind gust and there was hail and even tornados. Hopefully they got the planes out of the way of the storm. I know they couldn't tow the museum pieces back to the hangar in time for the fast moving storms so hopefully everything is ok there.

I skipped it today.... Went to Kermit's instead... Heard that TICO windy, wet and those dammmm speakers that annoy us got blown over... Damage was bad, but could have been worse...

Heck of a way for the the TBIRDS to end the season.....

So no aircraft got damaged? At least it didn't turn into 2011 Sun N Fun. Speakers can be easily replaced. There is a picture of a Cessna 172 that got flipped over - but one source said at TIX the other one was at Arthur Dunn Airpark which is a few miles north.
