Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo 2023

Announcement on social media yesterday was that a C-5 Galaxy will make a debut appearance at Sun n Fun 2023.

This is the first we’ve heard of military statics, hopefully there’s space for some others!!

Add this to the F-35A and B demo teams as well as The Blue Angels with Fat Albert.
