DESCRIPTION:Weather or Not to Fly\nPresenter: Jeff Arnold\nHost: Aaron Dabney\n  \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \nWINGS Credit\nYou can earn WINGS credit for attending this presentation by taking the quiz on FAASafety.gov. \nNew to WINGS?

SUMMARY:SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo 2027
DESCRIPTION:From its humble beginnings in 1974 as a fly-in for sport aviation enthusiasts\, the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo has grown into one of the largest and most successful aviation events on earth. We are Florida’s largest annual convention of any kind\, and each year over 200\,000 visitors flock to what has become known as “Aviation’s Season Opener” or “Spring Break for Pilots.” \nPilots flying into the Expo are fascinated by the vision of hundreds of aircraft showcased in all shapes and sizes. Aircraft areas include Vintage\, Homebuilt\, Aerobatic\, Warbird\, Jet\, and Light Sport. To serve all those flying in\, a major trade show is part of SUN ‘n FUN. Over 500 exhibitors have an incredible lineup of products and services\, hands-on workshops teach hundreds of building and maintenance skills\, and dozens of forums educate pilots and maintainers about safety\, new products\, and an infinite number of other timely topics. Not just for pilots\, SUN ‘n FUN has STEM and Career Fair activities\, plus a Family Oasis and\, of course\, our world-famous daily and night airshows that feature breathtaking displays from dozens of military and civilian performers.
