Arrived at Port Saint Lucie

We left Marathon before 7am. We arrived here at Port St. Lucie campground at noon. Dropped the boat off on our campsite and took off for the Witham Field Airport to see the B-24, B-17 and P-51.
I stayed with Sailor and the camper and Wayne went to the admission and got his ticket to tour the B-24. His dad had been in charge of the camera and developing of the photos in W11.

Sailor and I saw it land and taxi and it came right up in front of the camper/truck. We had the best view. Anyway, the wing just missed the light pole by inches, ( if it did we think the pole would of fell on the camper/truck, that wouldn't been good.) But got stuck in the tree. The guys directing the pilot, what were they doing??  They had to cut limbs to free the wings.
Anyway, these our my pictures, Wayne has better ones.


After all of that excitement they decided to move the plane around to the other side of the admission building. Wayne took his tour and pictures. The other 2 planes hadn't come in, but that's OK, this was the one Wayne wanted to see.

We met up with Bill and Connie on Windrush here in Stuart. We had a wonderful dinner at Mario's.
