The MacDill Air Force Base AirFest is an annual tradition featuring demonstrations by the military’s most impressive air vehicles, and this year is no exception. The B-25 Bomber, Aerial Knight T-33, P-51 Mustang and the Navy’s F-18F Super Hornet are just a few of the attractions you’ll see in the sky this weekend (I don’t really know what all of these are, but everything at the show is pretty impressive). You’ll also see helicopters, the SOCOM Parachute Team, radio control model aircrafts and a demonstration by the famous USAF Thunderbirds. Even I know who they are.
By now you know if this is the kind of event you’d enjoy. If it is, I can’t think of another local event that will provide you with a similar experience. People wait all year for AirFest to arrive. There’s a lot of appreciate throughout the day.
One thing you need to know, though: It’s always crowded. I mean, really crowded. The gates open at 8 a.m. and I suggest you hit the road early. Feel free to bring sunscreen, water and lawn chairs. You can’t bring coolers into the show, though.
Admission? There isn’t any. Consider this free event one of the advantages of having a prominent Air Force base in the area. As long as you don’t mind crowds, this is a fun, free family experience.
AirFest runs this Saturday and Sunday (March 28 and 29) from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. For more information, a complete schedule and directions to the base, visit www.macdill-airfest.com.
