Airborne 04.08.22: SnF Digital Daily -- SW-51 Mustang, SeaMax, Thunderbird Honor

Also: Rain Rain Go Away, Soap Girl, King Schools Scholarship

It isn’t a Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo without Mother Nature butting in with a few bucket loads of rain here and there, and yesterday’s contributions did not disappoint. How long can you tread water???
