General Sun 'n Fun info

The 35th annual Sun ‘n Fun Fly-In will be held April 21-26, 2009 at Lakeland Linder Regional Airport in Lakeland, Florida.

Since 1975, Sun ‘n Fun has brought together people who enjoy the event’s unique “southern hospitality” as they participate in an enthusiastic exchange of information on virtually every aspect of aircraft design, construction, restoration and maintenance. They also experience an invigorating camaraderie that flourishes whenever airplanes, their pilots and friends reunite in Lakeland each spring.

John Burton, Sun ‘n Fun’s president, emphasized the commitment and involvement of Sun ‘n Fun’s volunteers. “None of this would be possible without our dedicated volunteers,” he said. “There is no way we could put on an event the size and scope of Sun ‘n Fun without their time, talent and enthusiasm. We appreciate all of their efforts, which contribute tremendously to Sun ‘n Fun’s ongoing success.” Activities during the week-long event center around an expanding schedule of more than 400 educational forums and hands-on workshops plus additional topics offered through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aviation Safety Center that operates year-round on the Sun ‘n Fun campus.

More than 500 commercial exhibitors begin their aviation year at Sun ‘n Fun by showcasing the latest and greatest in aviation-related products and services throughout the week of the Fly-In.

Sun ‘n Fun’s air show features many of the world’s top aerobatic performers. As in past years, the warbird area will be well represented with static and aerial display aircraft. EAA Warbirds of America members are encouraged to participate in Sun ‘n Fun 2009.
