Hi all,

I'm off to Florida and this air show is on when I'm there

Has anyone on here ever been?

Cheers,
Will

Yep - back in 1991 ish.

They stuck all the Orions on the far side of the field, and back then they didn't carry and markings so it was a bit annoying. Many of the hangars were open, including several of the F-18 and P-3 rework ones. They were 'celebrating' the recent announcement that it was going to be an A-8 base. Saw my first F-117 there.

Would be silly not to go if you're in the area. You'd probably be frog marched into going shopping regardless

It's a brain-fart. I meant A-12 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell ... Avenger_II

Hi folks.

Suspect a few P8s will move over to Cecil Field whilst the show is on. Also JAX has a well populated museum on Yorktown Avenue in the SW corner of the base just inside the gate. At least 10 aircraft there.
