FLAP 2023 would be great. 5 years than since my last visit in Miami.
Trip to Palmdale sounds good to me, I would join that. Also a stop at San Bernandino Airport could be interesting. An Air Bridge Cargo 748 is there at the moment.
Wow, that is hard to believe! Time is truly flying... SBD would also be a great stop. There is a tanker base there, but I am not sure how active those will be. It will depend on the wildfires in the area, perhaps. If things work out, Breeze Airways will be starting service to SBD in August, I believe.
NASA operates the U2 out of PMD as well, so that is another rarity that could possibly show up. On my last trip there, I caught a Grumman Greyhound and some C-130s doing practices. The DC-8 sadly eluded us with an oddball runway choice, so I need that one too.
