Warbird Information Exchange

Whilst heading to Tico for a meeting this morning, I ran into the convoy carrying the VAC's newest addition! Just as the trucks were turning off US1, a 300 mile long train comes along..and there we all set! After some minutes I noticed the train was moving awfully slow, and eventually the thing just STOPPED, blocking the crossing and leaving the Canberra no place to go. I backed up and went into the airport the other way, and about an hour later when I left the train, and Canberra were all still sitting there. Doh! I guess they made it to the VAC, eventually

I'm surprised because most cities and municipalities at least here in the U.S. have laws regarding how long a train can block an intersection because of emergency and fire issues.

This one was in store at Melbourne International Airport in Florida.
Was a decent jet in its time, but may have been damaged following a Hurricane (a JP was blown into it)
