Randy I was thinking the exact same thing when I was looking at the pics!!! Then I had seen your post. Back then it was a no-brainer for the warbird guys to hit TICO then head to lakeland. I remember LOTS of mustangs!!!! Some where I need to find my old pics!!! Dad was a member of the VAC for a long time until the split and WOW emerged. I remember standing next to the gear of the Guardian that showed up one yr. Some where I have the pics.........I will do some digging.
AHH the good ole days.
You are right, TICO / VAC should place the airshow on the Sun-n-Fun opening weekend just like it was and with maybe alittle incentive for the owners. We also have to remember that alot of big contributors and aircraft are retired or gone.
George Baker, Harry Doan, Wiley Sanders, David Brady, Randell Porter and on.
The good news is Kevin Quinlan is back MCing the Friday night auction which is a great fund raiser for the VAC and people like Loydd Morris, Ken Terry and many others are trying to bring it back to that 80's airshow.
