Vintage jets at Lakeland

A good selection at Sun 'n' Fun, about 8 L-39s, an L-29, a couple each of Iskry, F-86F Sabres and T-33s, a few M-S Paris' and the thundering F-4E (the Phantom is 47 years old this year, so I think it counts as historic!).

The flying displays consisted of a series of strafing runs, flown in a racetrack pattern, with accompanying pyros on the Thursday.

The Heritage Flight yesterday represented the last 4 wars - WWII (P-51), Korea (F-86), Vietnam (F-4) and Iraq (F-16)
