oooorrr.....enough Glenlivet will help as well.Just wear your ANR headset while sleeping. Problem solved.
IMO departure is more dangerous than arrival. You can't leave until after the airshow ends, and there are hundreds of planes lined up to leave from parallel runways off in every direction. You definitely want to read the NOTAM well.oooorrr.....enough Glenlivet will help as well.
I really want to go as well since i'm a new pilot but I do have concerns. Just wondering how does one leave the place?? Just get in the plane and go? Or do they have departure times? I would imagine they park you so you can get out.

Actually, I think a bigger issue than sharing space on the ground is the fact that Amazon's departures and arrivals have to be worked into/around the airshow and other Sun 'n Fun flying activities. Every few hours they interrupt Sun 'n Fun to let a few Prime jets in and out. It can't be fun for Amazon to be restricted to a few daily windows of operations.The Amazon facility is on the North side of the airport, and SNF occupies the South side-- there is zero encroachment by Amazon into SNF space that I'm aware of.
It’s not an EAA event. But it has pretty much all the same things, if at a slightly smaller scale.OK. I'll share my ignorance here.. I was looking at the SnF website and couldn't find any mention of EAA. Have I been wrong in thinking that SnF is an EAA event all these years?
Maybe because of all of the comparisons to OSH over the years, I just assumed that SnF was like "OSH-south".

IIRC it used to be (or at least more than it is now especially from a sponsorship perspective) but around 20 or so years ago there was a split. EAA is there but as a participant and they aren’t running the show like at Osh.
I remember back then... was it 20 years ago??..... EAA (and/or maybe Sun N Fun) made a big campaign to make it clear that sun n fun was NOT an EAA event. It was in your face everywhere for a couple yearsIIRC it used to be (or at least more than it is now especially from a sponsorship perspective) but around 20 or so years ago there was a split.

I have always thought of SnF as “Spring Break for Pilots”.Alright then.
Looks like me and Eren are going to go to Sun n Fun for the first time.
We are just going to go for the weekend Fri, Sat, Sun
I mentioned it to her and she said "can I go?" which means it is happening.
So we have SnF, Rough River, and Airventure on the calendar!
I'll be there all week. It's a nice excuse to go somewhere warm and nice after months of cold weather at home.
SNF is much smaller than Oshkosh but has many of the same ingredients. Exhibitors, airshow, lots of airplanes to drool over, educational sessions, and - most importantly - lots of like-minded people.

MR BEAST is going to be there?--And a few famous YouTubers..
Giving serious consideration to attending. Would fly Lady Luscombe and camp. Any other POA ers going? Any comments or suggestions based on prior experience. Should I just say no and go to Belize?
If OSH is Disney World, SNF is a state fair: smaller, a little less expensive, greasier food, not as clean. It’s still lots of fun.
The forums are much smaller. Most are air conditioned.
The last time I flew to Sun-N-Fun and camped, no outside cars were allowed access to the airplane camping area. Some folks pulled cars up to the fence on the SW Side of runway 10 (Kelvin Howard Rd) and threw gear over the fence to pilots on the other side. That only works if you are camped in the certified/recent aircraft area. Folks that park/camp in the homebuilt or vintage aircraft areas of the SNF site are out of luck. You can see that fence line behind the next row of planes just to the right of my wing. The shade canopy tent and some kitchen stuff was handed over the fence to the pilots of the low wing plane behind the tail of my Maule. They made breakfast for any other pilots that were interested.Hey everyone! Looking for some Sun N Fun 2023 info and can’t find it on their website (nor can I get anyone to return a phone call or email).
My father in law is flying down and I’m driving from nearby. Does anyone know if I’m allowed to drive my car to his plane camp site? I’ll be bringing all the gear and camping supplies for 4 people.
Thanks everyone!
I was looking at going one day and camping overnight. Do they sell one day aircraft camping tickets or only the week ones? I only was able to find the week ones. Also, for $180 it includes one ticket but what if 2 other people come with, do you just buy event tickets?
