USA Trip March & April 2017 - Part 2 Sun 'n Fun, Lakeland

[gtf4j2m]

The group planned to spend 3 days at Sun 'n Fun, I only attended on the Wednesday & Friday. Wednesday was extremely hot, 100deg+ which ended in a spectacular storm in the early hours of Thursday morning. We had accomodation at the Marriot Hotel at Tampa International and as it was still raining at 0800 on the Thursday I decided to stay at Tampa. An hour later it was sunshine again and a good day was had at Tampa.

This section deals with Warbirds and Mil.

Fantastic set of photos Graham,this is one event I need to do in the states along with Oshkosh and the balloons @ Albuquerque.

[gtf4j2m]

I am planning on Oshkosh next year with a visit to the USAF Museum as well if possible. It is very tiring though. I went in 2010 & 2014

Fabulous Graham, a superb set of shots, thanks for posting

Thanks Graham,I'm 65 next birthday so I feel it's getting to the stage of now or never.

[gtf4j2m]

I usually use the Ian Allan tour. A little more expensive than doing it yourself, but having someone else driving & accomodation sorted does it for me and next year they are planning on an extension to the USAF Museum & Smithsonian /Uder Vazey in Washington.

[slideman]

What a superb selection of subjects and shots, thanks for posting

Great brings back good memories of my visits to sun and fun many moons ago. Dont forget the Oshkosh webcams operating at the moment on the Airventure website for even greater quantities of aircraft.

[zz]

Great pics!
Did Sun'n'Fun twice in the 90s - definitely overdue a return!

In some ways it's more enjoyable than Oshkosh- Being a smaller event you can do it all comfortably.
Oshkosh is hard work if you try and see it all!!

Loving this thread, given you a follow on FlickR too... Nice work...
