If you already have tickets, then just follow the signs. They'll have you park in a huge field and they have busses running people to the airport

All the parking is in cow pastures which now are soft with mud. Not good.

Took a guest over by the Punta Gorda Airport to watch the Air Show practice today. Not a bright sunny day but we got a few photos.

From the WWII B-24 to the USAF Thunderbird air demonstration squadron F-16.

Not meaning to nitpick, just clarify. It's actually a B-25 Mitchell. The B-24 looks similar but has four engines vs. the Mitchell's two. And nice pictures!

No Problem MikMal. So that is the plane from Mitchell's raid on Tokyo? I remember reading how difficult it was to get a bomber to take off from an aircraft carrier. Thanks for the help.

Actually it was Doolittle who raided Tokyo. Mitchell was a bombing advocate and did some anti-ship bombing demonstrations
