Sun-n-Fun 2019

One year that I did drive, I road the Harley. I got to park right at the gate entrance... :)
 
Thought about trying to go, but after the Grand Canyon adventure I’m in recovery(wallet) mode. I have a touch of a cold too, kinda works since I’m on vacation for a while longer.

Anyhoo, have fun down there. I’ll have to keep my powder dry for Oshkosh.
 
I am going tomorrow early am (Friday, April 5th) and Saturday and return Saturday late afternoon. I will be flying but a group of us are going down in a Cesnna Twin. I am hoping to get some more Wings credits and will Uber out for my meals more than likely except for the breakfast... Will look for the Commanders and those I recognize from Augusta Fly-in last year.
 
Went yesterday and saw zero Commanders. Walked 6.17 miles while there over 6 hours and saw a lot. Only spent about $200 so it was a GREAT day. Oh, and the Blue Angels were doing their thing directly overhead for over an hour. I'm kinda spoiled because I live 15 minutes from the field and the drive is uneventful.

Walked around all day thur and didn't see any signs of commander life? Although I did find a near new Kennon aircraft cover. Whoever used to own N6024P thanks! Very sad to see the type club tent full and not one commander sign or pamphlet. I know it's a number and logistics issue, but bummer none the less. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
 
I was there on Sat. Ended up getting a couple main tires and tubes + the Talc Powder from Desser.
 
Was able to 'link-up' with Mike for a few Min's . .

Blue Angels were Great, night show was good but a GPS snafu scrubbed the Drone's act.

No Holding on the arrival, "Commander with the bright LED's - Cleared on in and enjoy the show". That's a first, not having to hold around the lake . .

IFR coming out, worked as advertised but on roll-out the field went VFR and they cancelled all our IFR clearances, having us go back to 1200 squawk then individually renegotiate with Tampa for a new clearance. Just seemed odd . .??

I watched the Blue Angels both Friday and Saturday afternoons. Attendance seemed to be sparse this year, probably because of the weather. I think I saw John's 114 earlier but no tent and no people when I walked by.SNF2019.jpg
 
According to the president of Sun n Fun, attendance was an all time high for 2019.
 
Rolf, I was only down for Friday departing on Sunday morning. Vendors hangars looked full as did folks checking out the exhibits / display aircraft. But the days I was there the aircraft on the field looked sparse in comparison to other years. Usually the picture above (Jay's) the parking to the right is full across the field.
Hey, it was still a great show but a record breaker ?????
