frankmcm Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I have just returned from Florida, where I attended first 2 days of Sun n Fun. On the second day the flight displays were postponed, then cancelled becaused of tornado warning. First days display was truly awesome, so I brought my family on the second day to enjoy the spectacle, and I was disappointed that the show was cancelled. As we left the site there was some heavy rain in the distance, but I reckoned that the weather fronts had mostly passed. However I had an impression that a fair few light aircraft were leaving the airfield at the same time. Next day was solid rain, electrical storms and wind. I didnt return to see the damage, but my memories are of a wonderful spectacle, with loads to see and enjoy, and learn. I have never seen such a display of light aircraft and warbirds. I hope this doesnt inhibit future airshow sponsors or visitors. My thoughts in particular go out to the ultralight flyers who came to camp by their planes in that vast exposed flat airfield..... having to watch their planes take such a beating.
