Chris,
sadly everything has gone (apart from a Greyhound/COD which they still fly.
The main hangar is still there, but empty. I spoke to some of the guys there in December and just about everything was moved prior to a hurricane in 2004? Sadly, some of the small 'HAS-type' buildings were destroyed and the aircraft in them also came to grief.
There are still a couple of hulks outside, I think one is a super sabre and also a thunderchief I think, but they are just rotting hulks. The Harvard still flies from there, as does the Spit and at least one Mustang.
I went to Kissimee to do some local area flying (borrowed a Cadet there) and it was just great fun, great wx, very few restrictions etc etc.and it was cheap!!
Have fun y'all
TSM
