Fl Intl Airshow - Punta Gorda 4-1-06 -- Some warbird pics
Sat Apr 08, 2006 3:56 pm
I attended the Florida Int'l Airshow in Punta Gorda on April 1st. It was a good "general purpose" airshow that had the USAF T-Birds as the main event.
For the warbird fan there was a spirited display by John Mohr in a Stearman, Fred Cabanas with a display in his Sea Fury (highlight for me -first time seeing a Sea Fury), the Aeroshell T6 team and the P51/A10 heritage flight.
I shot video at the show but here are some shots from the static park.
To see all shots, please see my album on Photobucket:

Enjoy,

Wow, nice report. I am also tickled that you included my airplane in you post !! The blue and Yellow T-6 like plane is actually a BT-14 and The Florida International Airshow was the public debut. I answered lots of questions and had a really good time as an exhibitor. Thanks again for the exposure. There will be more on the BT 14 in Warbird Digest magazine in the near future.

Tony,
Very nice BT14. I was at the show on Saturday. Too bad I wasn't by when you were there. I'm looking forward to reading about the history and resto of it in WD.
