The Ghost Squadron is so excited to be hitting the circuit in 2024! Commander Rook Isaacman has missed his BDJT days and is ready to give you all something bigger and better! There will be planes coming in from every direction and, lets be honest, EVERYONE wants to see Rook in that MiG! Make sure you pack your 500lbs lenses... If you can zoom in quick enough you may get a shot of Rook's "Galactic Empire" helmet ;-)

Hey Opi, nice to see you again old friend! I still remember seeing you at Homestead and Fort Lauderdale in 2012 and 2013 respectively.

I’ve traveled to this show twice. Both times, it seemed that the flight box was 5 miles off the beach out in the ocean. I could barely see the performers from that distance. Several people were voicing their displeasure. I’ve been to several shows over water, and this is the only one that sets the box so far off shore

I hadn't been there with the current people running it, but was there twice back when it was sponsored and aired on ESPN. I'd be voicing displeasure for having to pay for a spot on the beach, but that's for a different discussion.

In those years they all flew reasonably close to the beach. It wasn't like in Atlantic City where their box is more than a half mile away from the shoreline but that's because there's a pier at juts out at far show left and another near show center. Regarding Ft. Lauderdale, I think there's one or two fishing piers but I don't recall them being a factor back in the years I went.

For anyone willing to shell out all that money for this. Was more affordable 2 years ago.
