Halloween at the Naval Aviation Museum, 25 October

If this a bit closer, I would be there. From their website: “The frights are FREE for the entire family with a “Haunted Helicopter” behind the Museum, in partnership with the Pensacola Little Theatre. Dress in costume to enter a raffle drawing for special prizes, and have fun with Nate the Magician, Rainbow the Clown and Scooby-Doo! Treat stations will also be located inside the Museum. Children in costume receive $2.00 admission to one of two new Halloween Motion-Based Simulator rides, Superstition or Haunted House. Major Harry Johnson, USMC (Ret), a former member of the famed WWII Black Sheep Squadron, will also be on hand to sign autographs. It’s a “thrilling” event you won’t want to miss! Sponsored by the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation, Publix Super Markets and Wal-Mart.”

F-86 based at Valiant Air Command Museum

From the VAC website: “The Valiant Air Command is pleased and excited to announce that a world famous F-86 Sabre jet will now be based at the Titusville Warbird Musuem. This particular F-86 was built in 1953 and initially served in the USAF, before being transferred to Argentina; where it served from 1960 until 1988. At that time it was purchased and lovingly restored by Mr. Tom Righetti, who has since passed away. The aircraft is now owned by his wife and is flown to many airshows around the country by Mr. Dale Snodgrass. Keep watching this space for specifics about the exact arrival date when an arrival ceremony will be held. “
