Fort Lauderdale Florida’s AIR & SEA SHOW. Fans of the Air & Sea Show presented by CBS4 and McDonalds were in awe of this year’s line-up of air and sea performances with first-time civilian and military demonstrations in addition to popular favorites. New to the show this year are Michael Wiskus and the Lucas Oil Air show, a civilian air exhibition; the United States Air Force (USAF) F-22 Raptor, regarded as the most advanced fighter jet in the world with state-of-the-art technology and advanced tactics and the U.S. Army Sky Soldiers, the only attack copter demo team flown by veteran pilots — all of which excited the crowds during this annual tribute to the armed forces and the men and women serving our country. “We are thrilled with this year’s line-up of civilian and military flyovers and demonstrations,” said Mickey Markoff, creator and executive producer of the air show. “Now 13 years and going strong, we strive to always keep the show current and exciting for the many loyal fans and newcomers from South Florida and beyond.” http://www.nationalsalute.com/.
