I didn't know they were still doing the sun n fun, my father used to go every otehr year, with the off year going to Oskosh, he stopped going after teh EAA stoped their involvement in the operation of the show. We had teh Blue Angles here in CHarleston this weekend, I saw them praticing over the harbor last week, but I had too much going on to go watch them Saturday or Sunday

Funny, I quit going because the EAA was involved with the show operations. The only way to get access to the flightline was to have credentials and credentials meant you had to produce a pilots license or your membership card with EAA. It was many years ago but I remember paying $25 to get in and then I could only see the planes from a distance.
Never again.
This year the fee to get in was $35 for non-residents or $25 for residents of Florida and you could walk up and see everything.

my father is a lifetime member of EAA(he's eat up with it), the memeber ship dues are well worth hte price of "sport aviation magazine"(I had to stop reading it, too many hobbies)he said once the EAA got out of it, the price of everything there went up, the last time he went, there were four fatalities at the show, I've heard several pilots say that once it was taken over by locals, it a mad house to fly in there
