If you have not experienced the Sun N Fun Fly-in, make plans to take part in the event this year!

This is one of the most looked forward to aviation events of the year. The Sun N Fun Fly-in started in 1974 as a smaller fly-in for aviation fans. It has grown into one of the world's largest aviation events and Florida's largest yearly event. It brings about 200,000 visitors, exhibits, large aircraft fly-in, aerial demonstrations by military and non-military aircraft, concerts, and much more.

Some of the military participants will be the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, the F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team, the U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet Demo Team, and the U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III.

There will also be many more non-military plane demonstrations as well as parachute demonstrations.

The Sun N Fun is hosted at the Lakeland Linder Airport from 4/14 through 4/19.
