Me, too. I'm hoping some of Lewis Air Legends are included in that part of the show. I do wonder which ones will be making the trip. Really hoping to see Glacier Girl.

SUN ‘n FUN is going big! For the first time ever a Lockheed C-5M Super Galaxy will be making its SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo debut:

For the first time ever, a Lockheed C-5M Super Galaxy will be making its SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo debut where it will be be on static display for the attendees to see up close.

Its primary mission is to transport cargo and personnel for the Department of Defense. The C-5 can carry oversized cargo over intercontinental ranges and can take off and land on relatively short runways. Both the nose and aft doors open, allowing ground crews to simultaneously load and off-load cargo from both ends, reducing cargo transfer times. The full-width drive-on ramps at each end enable double rows of vehicles to be transported.

Eric Crump, ACE Executive Director talks about the southeast exhibit area getting a new name this year and they are calling it the Education & Innovation Plaza. This area is a brand new, reorganized youth education area for youth between the ages of 7 and 17.

Is there ever a static display list posted for this show? Also, I am assuming that the statics are there for part of the show, and then more arrive at a different time, similar to how Oshkosh is? They've definitely had some incredible military statics in the last few years!
