I usually try to sneak in. And fuck the Blue Angels for changing schedules to force closures of inbound flights, waiving off all arrivals.

I had a hell of a lot of fun flying in there one year in the right seat along side my chief flight instructor. It really is something cool to do. Thus far it’s the only time I ever landed on a taxiway. Lol. I’d never been around so many damn pilots in my life. At the end of the day I was starting to feel a little inferior, like all my old war stories didn’t add up to a hill of beans.

The good is that you meet interesting people if you have access to places away from the typical tourist section, especially with various organizational memberships or journalist credentials.

My partner in my rv is going down with his son for 3-4 days and camping. I’m jealous and would probably consider tagging along if I had someone to go with in my other plane.

My Dad was a member of the Confederate Air Force in the 70's in Texas (Ghost Squadron San Marcos Tx).
we moved back to Lakeland and he built a house about 3 miles from Linder Airport. We would sit on the front porch and watch the planes together. He passed in 2010. I sure miss him and the time we spent together. Good memories. |

Another SnF complete. The big dog at the airport is Amazon. They get a 15 minute window during the air show to land one or two cargo planes. There’s talk about adding a new 9/27 runway to the south.

I do not see how they could possibly do that without buying hangers and privately owned buildings and then overcome the Rath of the people that live in the developments there. |

South I mean parallel to the current runway, modifying the Papa taxiway and taking out the first few rows of the RV camping. Making a new 9R/27L.

Technically the north runway (9L/27R) is a taxiway. Used as a runway only for light aircraft mainly around the air show. Heavys still taxi on it. The new proposed runway is for heavy traffic landing and takeoff.

Quote HistoryThat's nothing. Looks like the high wing did a go around and should have side-stepped. One year I flew in and it had rained heavily on Tuesday. I had planes beside me, above me, cutting me off, et cetera on the leg where you follow I-4 to the west. They weren't talking to anyone. I have excellent glass and eyesight, even at 40 with uncorrected vision, and usually see traffic before others. That made me uncomfortable, so I usually try to arrive about 30 minutes before the field closes and it's usually a real easy approach. On departure, I stay as low and fast as practical as I know everyone else is climbing out. I consider the risk of a mid-air to be far higher than the risk of an engine failure and feel staying low is a better mitigation practice. |
