Fantasy of flight at Sun n Fun, that’s what you think about from the time you walk through the gates. From its humble beginnings in 1974 as a fly-in for sport aviation enthusiasts, the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo has grown into one of the largest and most successful aviation events on earth. It is Florida’s largest annual convention of any kind, and each year over 200,000 visitors flock to what has become known as “Aviation’s Season Opener” or “Spring Break for Pilots.”

Arriving at the Expo we were fascinated by the vision of hundreds of aircraft showcased in all shapes and sizes. Aircraft areas included Vintage, Homebuilt, Aerobatic, Warbird, Jet, and Light Sport. To accompany the airshow a major trade show is part of SUN ‘n FUN. Over 500 exhibitors have an incredible lineup of products and services, hands-on workshops teach hundreds of building and maintenance skills, and dozens of forums educate pilots and maintainers about safety, new products, and an infinite number of other timely topics. Not just for pilots, SUN ‘n FUN has STEM and Career Fair activities, plus a Family Fun Zone and, of course, our world-famous daily and night airshows that feature breathtaking displays from dozens of military and civilian performers. This week was truly a Fantasy of Flight at The Sun n Fun Fly-in.
