Did SNF announce Lewis’ planes? Been watching his website and they haven’t confirmed what they are bringing to most of the shows. Hoping that since they’re taking GG to SNF they will hopefully bring it to the Lightning gathering at Chino this year

Just seen a post on facebook from Lewis Air Legends that they are now bringing the A-20, P-38 and a Bearcat...

Saw that earlier today as well. Thanks for the info.

Raining hard in Lakeland right now.

That doesn't look too bad except for very heavy rain. What are the winds?

florida.warbirds · **Joined:** Fri Aug 22, 2014 8:25 am **Posts:** 158

winds were 15-20 mph

Any word on WHEN the birds from Lewis Air Legends will arrive? It'd be awesome to catch them arriving!

Also, any thoughts/info on if they'll depart sometime on Monday following the show?

Thanks!

Those winds aren't too bad but the chance of hail damage is scary.

I see from Flightradar24 that the A-20 arrived in Lakeland at 12:22PM today. Hopefully she'll fly at SNF over the weekend.

Heritage Flight today was Cavanaugh P-40, P-38 Glacier Girl and F-16. Awesome!

Warbird action - Formations of Nanjings, T-6s/SNJs, T-28s - Twin Beech and 2 C-47s, P-51, P-63, F8F, Randy Ball MiG-17 all flew in today's airshow.

Mrs VB asked one of the A-20 crew and was told that the A-20 is scheduled to fly Friday and Saturday. Fingers crossed!
