The Lockheed PV-1 Ventura, that is on loan from the US Navy, is getting one step closer to be finished. The aircraft was recently moved and lifted to the new terminal that is under construction.  Restoration began back in the 2000 (history of the aircraft) with a different plan before the growth of the airport.

Here are some photos of the restoration from 2014.

Can’t wait to see this aircraft once the new terminal is open.

 

In case you are following my site for show info, please read up on some of the rules about the show here. Cant stress enough that water and sunblock are two important items along with a hat. Sun can be brutal and if you are fare-skinned like me, it hurts.

Tickets can be bought online and I suggest doing the before arriving as the lines could be long. There is a golf cart shuttle from the main parking lot to the entrance.

Here is an always “tentative” schedule of events for the weekend:

 

The members of the Valiant Air Command are busy setting up for the airshow this weekend. Here are some pictures of the aircraft from the VAC museum.

From the Valiant Air Command:
