Sun-n-Fun?

Citationkid · February 5th, 2004, 17:59

Any one planning on heading down to sun-n-fun this year? I've got a ride, only problem is missing a week of school, I don't know if my parents will let me.

I'm probably going to go for at least two days. My friend want to fly in, but since we live in Orlando (about 45 minutes East of Lakeland), it really wouldn't make sense to stay overnight there.

I have to check the airshow calendar to see who is going to be there and when. Last year Patty Wagstaff and Mike Goulian were only there for two days, and Sean D Tucker was only there for like one.

When is it again? We'd like to go and do the exhibition thing, spread around the JC name or flyers or what not...who knows... I looked at their website some time ago, but couldn't find any info on who to contact for exhibition information or what not...

I'll be there at least one day. Drop me a line when/if you (meaning anyone) are coming down and I'll see if I can work something out.

The dates are 13-19 April 2004 .

Just a side note, but Fri Apr 16th is AOPA day. Which I guess is good and bad. Good b/c AOPA members get discount tickets, bad b/c it'll probably be as crowded (or more) as Florida resident day....

What does it cost to fly in?

Pfly · February 6th, 2004, 11:10

I go every year with my son. We usually spend 2-3 days. The only variable for me this year is that I start my PPL class 1 March. As long as I'm finished by then or can get a few days off, I'll be there.

kellwolf · February 13th, 2004, 21:43

Okay, here's the scoop. Dates are April 13-19th, rates are here , camping info w/ your aircraft is here . If you want a list of exhibtors, that would be here (think pretty much anyone that has anything to do with aviation), and the airshow schedule is here . For you tinkerers and homebuilt people they also have workshops , and somewhere (but I can't find it right now) is a list of presentations that they have. Last year we saw the unveiling of the RV-10 from Vans and a presentation on buying a home at an airpark.

Hopefully, we'll see a lot of you guys there.

ready2fly · February 16th, 2004, 13:17

Kellwolf, what day(s) are you planning on going?

kellwolf · February 16th, 2004, 17:34

I'm thinking Thur/Fri (Apr 15th and 16th), but that could change. I could pretty much go any day since I'm probably going to take a vacation day or two from work.

ready2fly · February 17th, 2004, 07:21

Excellent! I'll prob be aiming for Saturday the 16th. When it gets closer to that time, let's get in touch and try to meet up.

ALSO - for anyone going to be anywhere near Tampa on 2 & 3 April , Airfest is coming back to MacDill AFB!!!!

This year, the Blue Angels will be tearin' up the skies!

If anyone is going to be around, let me know.

The COOL thing is that my FBO (Peter O. Knight) provides the AvGas for all the pistons - meaning all the WWII fighters and bombers will be landing at my FBO to gas up.

I'm thinking about heading over to my FBO on the 1st to just sit and watch. So, if anybody's down with that, drop me a line.

kellwolf · February 17th, 2004, 10:42

I'm TOTALLY down for that.

Tico in Titusville is on my b-day this year, so I'm taking the day off and going over there. Never been to that one, but it's almost all warbirds, and I heard it rocks.

ready2fly · February 17th, 2004, 11:21

Tico....hmmmm... when is that? Never heard of it.

kellwolf · February 17th, 2004, 11:24

March 13th-14th in Titusville.

Here ya go

Normally they do mock dogfights (sometimes even with WWI a/c), strafing runs, and bombing runs.

ready2fly · February 17th, 2004, 11:50

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!!!

But DAMN - I have to work that weekend!
