EAA at SUN ’n FUN 2021
Second best air show in the country. Oshkosh fly-in is the best. Yes, the Blue Angels will be there. Fantastic event if you've never been. I built and flew my own Glasair to the show a few years ago. I didn't see or hear the flyover, but suspect it was a flight of P-51's. Have a spare $million and you could buy one. You will never forget the sound of the rolls-royce engines!

Had trouble watching my TV show whatever that was. Very noisy but I was too late when I went out at a commercial break to see what was making all the noise.

just went on the link you sent. Signed up for future e mails. I see it's about an hour and a half away. We have an airshow in Long Island every year at Jones Beach! My son was actually sworn into the Air Force with a group on beach, with planes flying above and a parachuter coming down. It was something! Have you ever gone to the Lakeland air show?

Grew up with Rolls Royce Merlin engines flying overhead.
Wonderfull sound. Once heard, never forgotten!

Thought for a second they were Zeros. Tora, Tora, Tora! What a great sound they made.

Default Plane Flyover

Yes, I heard humming outside my backyard. Went outside and looked up to the sky, squinting, when I saw a formation of 14 planes, I think. Then I read in the paper about the airshow in the south this weekend.

If you are bored this weekend and you like planes , the Sun n Fun air show is on this weekend. Besides the “Warbirds” P51s , etc youll have the Blue Angels, the F35 demo team and several others.
Its less than 1.5 hr trip. The afternoon shows last several hours

Did you read the whole thread ? Perhaps it was Flight 19 finally escaping that time warp in the Bermuda Triangle.

The local rag didn’t make a big deal of this air show? With all us veterans here? Is there an alternative paper we can get along with the Sun.
