I may also go Thursday with my son if I can find out what time they are arriving. Wouldn't mind some aviation enthusiast company if anyone is interested.

Looks like I might be swinging by Homestead for one day during a quick business trip. This should be fun.

Finally, not to be THAT person, but why are weather forecasts being posted? Seems like an excuse to post something in each thread? Plus, we all know not to ever trust a weather forecast more than three days out.

Plus for those of you new to the area there are pretty much only 3 places to watch the planes Thursday and Friday unless you have a media pass , or a connection on base , I will be on base both day but for those who can’t there 2 farms on either side of the runway with a great view on both sides and then a third view by the Dunkin’ Donuts on NE 8th street all the down the street , sw 320th street is where on the arrivals side where aircraft mostly performs their approach and sw 280th is the last spot where most likely takeoffs will be done
