Stuart AirShow 2017

Cannot believe that we have been here for a whole year already!
 
One of the first things that we experienced after moving into our condo in Stuart last year was the seeing the airshow right from our front porch.

So, seeing it return to town made 'a year' seem even more obvious.

Once again, we enjoyed the show from our front yard and for a few hours here or there while working our shift at The Depot.

Here's a few shots.

The Screamin Sasquatch - a 1929 Taperwing powered by dual power-plants:
a Pratt & Whitney 985 Radial Engine and a General Electric CJ610 (J85) Jet Engine with 3,000lbs of thrust.  It was quite a sight... and sound!
