Approaching the Beach (11KB)

This thing takes place every year over one weekend in May. They close down a few miles of A1A along Fort Lauderdale Beach and depending on the weather, the estimates of the crowd go as high as 1 to 2 million people over the weekend. With stuff going on in both the water and the air it makes for an excellent day's distraction...

Flyover (7KB)

You can't tell from these pictures but some half mile out there are wall to wall boats to watch the show from the water side...  Which also makes for a safe corridor for the planes and the boats to perform...

Hannah & Jordan (7KB)

Despite the crowds, you can usually stake out a spot on the beach although you might have to fight your way to the water to cool off. (It would take more that a crowded beach to keep Hannah and Jordan out of the water!)
