The SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo is one of the world’s largest annual aviation events and gearing up to bring you a better than ever SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo in 2024! Over the last few years T-34 participation has really picked up and we would like to continue to make a good showing. We are planning on hard surface parking on the closed runway but be sure to bring tie-downs and chocks, just in case.
If you are planning to attend the Knock the Rust Off clinic at Seabring we will be arranging a mass formation arrival to SNF on Tuesday. Although you will need to be formation qualified and current to fly in the daily airshow on Wednesday and Thursday we have a plan which may allow you to fly in with the group on Tuesday in the mass formation so long as you can show proficiently at Sebring. You must attend the Tuesday morning's briefing at Sebring in order to fly in the T-34 arrival.
