    Florida has not had much luck with airshows/events in the past week or so. First the fatal vintage plane crash and now this. I hope everyone trapped makes it out.

    there saying many planes flipped over too. 70 people were suppose to be in the hangar. Thanks for the live feed...I am glued! My prayers are with all the people affected. very sad
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    It is now being reported that it was a tent and not a hangar

    all i can say is wow! my good friend is down there says nearly 100 airplanes totaled or badly damaged. sun-n-fun may never be the same again.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
