Sun N Fun 2-7 Apr 2019
Never been to Sun N Fun, any recommendations ? Crowded like KOSH ? Might land locally ( DAB / 7FL6 / X07 / SEF ? ) and drive over. Would like to caravan if anyone else from the NE is headed down... Cheers, Donn

I did SNF a few years ago. Thought it was a good time. Not quite the organizational experience as OSH but well worth going. Only hard part is wx that time of year in FL. Can be hit and miss if you’re a VFR only bubba.

It’s much less crowded compared to OSH. Relatively easy to get in and out. Schedule the in and out times around air show times. Have Fun!

I go most every year and think it is more laid back than Oshkosh. Good time with lots of Short Wings.

Here is the 2019 Sun n Fun arrival NOTAM.
If you are flying in please read and understand it. There are always a few clueless idiots showing up at Lake Parker.

I have flown into Sun n’ Fun 23 times. This video still gets my adrenaline going. Start at about the 18 minute point for his arrival at Lake Parker. He overshot the base to final turn and wants to park in the Vintage area. Not going to happen. It is good video of what to expect.

Here is a less chaotic video of the Sun n’ Fun arrival but also shows one of the clueless. Doubt he Switched to the tower frequency after crossing Lake Parker.

It’s really not that difficult. I have gone into Lakeland many times when there was very little traffic and the only thing I heard on the radio is is “red taildragger cleared to land”.
You just follow the airplane in front of you.
This year following the airplane in front of me made me nervous as he was wandering around all over the place at 75 knots. I just did a 180, found a gap and got back in.
