Ken, thank you very much for posting your recollections of the air show back then. Your information is valuable to some of us trying to recall what was at that (those) air show(s) that occurred back then. You have answered a question that was posed on another page that I didn't know the answer to when the guy sent it in. My apologies for the delay in responding to your comment but sometimes I don't see the comments as they are posted and unless I visit every page I won't see the unseen comments.

Don

Dear Sirs;

What GREAT memories these photos and web site bring back to when I was stationed at homestead AFB, 1955 - 1957, and spent my frre weekends taveling around to the historical airports and avation sites in the Miami area, especiall Corrosion Corners,

One memorable airshow I attended was at Masters Field / Amelia Earhart Field during late Dec. 1956 to early Jan. 1957, the USAF Thunderbirds were there with their new F-100s, some one from Itlay brought over a Berneli transport with several antique Itaian autos for display, Bevo Hawrd and his Bu 133 did aerobatics and a Aerrocan Champ 7AC spray plane dusted the crowd with perfume!!!

Again, my sincere appreciation for putting together such a entertaining and informative web site!!!
