I tried to make a weekend out of Festival of Flight in the Lutz FL area. I tried to drive there yesterday and it took me 3 1/2 hours to get there from Saint Petersburg FL because of traffic, (This was around rush hour). It was PACKED and I ended up not getting in because the event was over 9:00pm. The people that did attend told me the Balloons were awesome this year.
GA is dead!?! I beg to differ! Today, I left at 6:30 am and just got in at 7:30 am because I stayed a Mile from the Hotel. When I got into the event, (Finally). There were a lot of kids there enjoying airplanes and were excited about getting in them even though it started to rain on and off. Not that many planes there but the ones that were there people took a lot of photos even though the rain was bad at times!
Pretty good day all around, not because of the weather but because of the people that volunteered to make it a good event.
