Howdy all;
So I guess the question is, have you guys met up at sun and fun before. If so, is there a special meeting place, or do ya
just walk around with a “follow me to Matronics” sign on your back?
I think it would be fun to arrange a time and place to meet up, any ideas, or is December to early to plan these things?

When is SnF...?
I've never been there. How does it compare to Oshkosh?
Been to Oshkosh probably 20 times since they moved it from Rockford.

Sun-N-Fun this year April 21-26, 2009
Nothing really compares to Osh but it's a smaller Osh and just as much fun for me. I believe its still the 2nd biggest airshow/expo 2nd only to Osh

Tuesday, April 21 to Monday, April 27 at Linder Regional Airport
(KLAL), Lakeland, Florida.
It's a smaller venue than Oskosh, so it has a bit more relaxed
atmosphere with smaller crowds. Many of the same vendors show up for it.
If you plan on camping by your airplane, beware of the fire ants. They
spray for them but the bastards are hard to keep under control. The
main campground is generally safe from them though.

(WARNING! The following is ONLY my OPINION. It is not FACTUAL in content. YMMV.)
I actually prefer SnF to Osh in many respects. It's easier to see and get around, being a much smaller venue. Parking is easier, unless there's a backup due to thundershowers flooding the lot (like earlier this year). Folks are generally friendlier and the overall stress level is lower.
Not as much nearby lodging nearby, we frequently assume that we'll drive 15 to 20 miles in each day in order to avoid outrageously priced local hotel rooms. Plenty of lodging available in the Kissimmee area, given its proximity to MickeyLand. Flying commercially into Tampa or Orlando is super easy, and fares are generally reasonable.
The fly-in approach and coordination isn't nearly as well executed as Osh, however. Despite the NOTAM on altitudes, speeds, frequencies, and arrival routes, it's more like the wild west inbound. Definitely has a NASCAR feel to it (at least it did the last time I flew in).

Pat,
Sun and Fun is a lot like Oshkosh, but somewhat smaller. But it does have
one big plus, it's not spread out all over the place like Oshkosh,,(oh
My acking feet).
The weather is usually very nice that time of the year as well. The also
have night time aerobatics, that have to be seen to be believed.
