Warbird Day at Sun N Fun 15

The staff at Sun N Fun have announced that the Wednesday show on 22 April will be “Warbird Day“. Flying demos will focus on fighters and bombers from WW2, Korea and Vietnam eras.

• The Texas Flying Legends Museum (A B25 Mitchell will fly in, accompanied by a fighter escort. It will be attacked by a REAL Japanese Zero, then fought off in an epic dogfight by a Chance-Vought Corsair)
• The Aeroshell Aerobatic Team
• Lee Lauderback from Stallion 51 Flight Operations
Gregory W Colyer/Ace Maker Airshows‘ T33 Shooting Star Demo
• The CAF Red Tail Squadron‘s P-51 Mustang

CAF Airpower tour coming to Florida

Details are still being fleshed out but it looks like the CAF B-24 will be touring around Florida during April and May. I figure that it will be at Sun N Fun.

Update: The B-24 will be in Deland at the CAF hangar the week after Sun N Fun. (added 12 Jan 2015)

Other aircraft will be part of the tour but they are still to be determined.

Fantasy of Flight opening delayed

Just in from Fantasy of Flight:

“Well, folks, construction delays being what they are, and nothing ever being simple when it comes to opening attractions to the public, it looks now like our museum-opening will be pushed back until end of January/beginning of February. We’re shooting for January 30 at this point. We’ll keep you posted, and sorry”
