It’s that time of year again. MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida will be putting on another air show. The show will run Saturday, March 20th and Sunday, March 21st. The gates open at 8:00 am. and close at 5:00 pm. The Blue Angels will be the last show of the day, it begins at 3:00 pm. In between that time there will be plenty of food and shows including, radio controlled model aircraft demos, a parachute jump with the American Flag, during the National Anthem. A static line parachute jump. Aircraft demonstrations will include KC-135, C-17, T-6, B-25, C-54, P-51, just to name a few. Hopefully, we will get lucky and see the Stealth Bomber do a fly over. Unfortunately, they can’t say which day or if that is going to happen. Believe me, we have asked every year that we go. We always manage to see it though. Make sure while you are out there to drink lots of water and bring hats, sunglasses and earplugs. The tarmac gets very hot. Admission is always free. I would check the website to find out what is allowed on the base. You can’t take coolers any more. The web site is: www.macdill-airfest.com . It will be a wonderful weekend at the air show. Hope to see you there.
