Lakeland Air Show
On Saturday Itacyara (Tassie) and I had the opportunity to volunteer as translators at the Sun-N-Fun Air Show here in Lakeland. It turns out that this is a big destination for Brazilians. Below are a few pictures.
The most beautiful translator in the international booth!
Aggie and Sue tabulate the results. Brazilians represented the third largest group of internationals at the airshow, following Canada and England.
A British Spitfire. Pilots of these planes during WWII were the subject of Winston Churchill's famous quote: "Never was so much owed by so many to so few."
This is a row of privately-owned Czech training jets. Built in the Soviet Bloc during the Cold War, they are now sold to the public. One Czech man told me of someone who bought one from the Romanian governement for $10,000.00! Hmmmmm...wonder if I could use one of these on the mission field...
Mikey found an airplane that was more his size.
Mikey had a very exciting day. Here he is pointing at a couple of jets doing aerobatic maneuvers nearby.
