Man you are lucky, Valkeria is very, small so no jets (rare occasions) come here.

Nice shots, hope you enjoyed your time Very Happy

Nice shots, I bet you had an enjoyable time!

Though I have to say that the A380 is probably the ugliest airplane I've ever seen...

Couldn't agree with you more!
Please direct your complaints to the moon, they might care there.

Wow, 4 hours Shocked I remember before 9/11 (well, briefly) at my local AFB, Patrick AFB, less than 10 min driving time from my home, would be awesome. All military aircraft doing flyovers,stunts, and the Blue Angels. PAFB doesn't do it anymore, and I'm thinking about going to Sun'n Fun in April. Smile

yer, it was worth it , its the bigest air display/show in the country, my local (10/15 min drive depending on traffic) is also a nice size, up to B737-800 can reach the runway, there display last year, red arrows, Viper 16, heli's etc was great

but farnborugh is worth the 4 hour drive its sensational

Here is my home airport picture- Regular service is MD-88 Delta Airlines, Air Transat International Freight DC-8 (awesome!) ASA Crj-700&200. USA 3000 did do service with their A320's, for a brief time. Northrop Grumman also does testing here. Also, Delta brought their 737's down for a long time, and i did actually ride on one to Atlanta.



Apparently, A330's can land here. Valkaria, X59, is here.
