Terry Wade lives in England, I met up with him in TPA the same week. He was on holiday in Florida and that was one of the many places he visited. He might be able to tell you somethin but not too much, I'm guessing. Who knows?

And what sort of times do the flights take off and land.
go to http://www.srq-airport.com/tracking.htm and download the flight schedule files. Although February's are not published yet, January's might give you an orientation. Plenty of general aviation operations go on there also (298 aircrafts based there - 17 of them are bizjets).

OK,
that sounds like very late February. around 25-28 or so. I'll try to put the schedules together for you. Looks like the Terry Wade photographs are from the observation area next to the commuter terminal. Aircraft departing runway 14, the NW jet just coming off that runway. Luckily, you are coming at the peak season. Saturdays are best, Canadian stuff comes in on Saturdays.
