Well, I have tickets for the Friday night show and the Sunday show. Not the most diverse lineup, but the all the performers are top notch. I'd like to see more warbirds down here at Florida shows. In any case, I'm looking forward to the show! It will be my first time seeing Rebel flying the Viper Demo.

Have you ever dreamed of flying on the legendary PBY? The Vero Beach Airshow is your perfect chance! For only $350, you’re able to soar high above South Florida on Saturday or Sunday. Purchase your tickets at the show, beginning Saturday morning. ✈️

Went to the Friday night show and had a great time. Bummer that there wasn't an E-2 demo. However, Skip Stewart was there and performed. That was unexpected, but certainly appreciated. The flying participants were:
Melissa Dawn Burns & Skip Stewart
F-16 Viper Demo
Jim Peitz
Aeroshell
Matt Younkin

The Black Daggers were supposed to do a jump, but the winds were too strong. Here are a few pics from the night show. Keep in mind that my camera has a small sensor and is not great with low light action shots.

It was a great show today, even with some threatening weather. The flying was fantastic! So, apparently Kevin Coleman was supposed to perform, but had to cancel at the last minute because his wife was giving birth a month early. Skip Stewart filled in for Kevin with just a day or two notice. It was great seeing Skip perform, since it had been a while. The highlight for us was Kyle Franklin's comedy demo (our first time seeing it). Pictures to come later.

Here are some pictures from Sunday's show which was very enjoyable. The setup at the airport was nice, and it wasn't packed with people.
