New Smyrna Beach Sky Fest 2013 Warbirds

Sat Apr 06, 2013 11:01 pm

In only it's fifth year, the New Smyrna Beach, Balloon & Sky Fest had a number of warbirds on hand.
Show appears to be growing and improving each year.
Rain was problem for the Friday night show but a large crowd was on hand today.
Couldn't stay for today's flying but here are photos of some of the warbirds on display.
American Aero Service's presence at New Smyrna could be seen in the fine assortment.

Did you get a calendar from Warbird Pinups?

Those girls are absolute trolls in that calendar. I saw some of them at sun and fun a couple of years back and wasn't impressed. They are not even sexy, they are just trashy looking. I've never been impressed with any of their pictures.

The Bombshell calendar girls on the other hand. They are far better looking and more classy.

'Trashy' works for some people! When you have classy aircraft and classy women it just depresses you that both are 'unobtainable' !

Interesting selection of powder blue Mustangs :D

Just kidding. Thanks for posting Bill. Top shelf as always.

I guess the calendar thing, as well as choice of Mustang colours, comes down to taste :lol:

The avenger looks amazing.
