Eyes will be fixated on the sky more than usual starting early Saturday as the Great Florida Air Show kicks off at Orlando Melbourne International Airport. Displays from the Navy Blue Angels, Air Force F-16 Viper Demo Team, and dozens more – including static displays and exhibits – will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.
