| The 2015 Gulf Coast Salute may have been one of the last opportunities to see some QF-4Es, the QF-16 made its debut. |
| It surely was a great opportunity to see local F-22s, with 30 identified, including one instructional airframe. The weather |
| played ball for most of the weekend and spoiled the flying programme. If sunny, photographic opportunities for the |
| air display are good, whether most static aircraft are placed under sheds to protect them from the Florida climate. |
