I'm just hoping I can get in this year.  Sat in traffic on Dale Mabry for 5 hours last year before they began turning people away.  Man was I pissed.

Any tips for a fellow enthusiast?  I just saw the Blues in Punta Gorda and would love to see the Thunderbirds back to back.  I'll be coming from Sarasota.

There are three secrets to not spending 6 hours in traffic:p

• Leave early, theres not much traffic at 7am
• Dont go to the 1st airfest after a 2 year absence....the area was starving for it
• Bribe yer old friend ALF into telling you the 'special' way that noone seems to know about...a better video camerca would be nice LOL

I will post the best way to get in Friday night, so Aces High players spend as little time as possible waiting.  FYI: I went saturday and sunday last year, and both days left my house at 10am (the height of the traffic) and was in the gates by 11:30am....and its a 25 minute drive without traffic.
