    Well, got there by accident today, the last day. Was suppose to take the Daytona on the Celebration Rally, truck driver came early and had to go..so it worked out great! What a show. The F16 was freaking amazing, unbelievable in fact. And the P51, F16, and Warthog in formation....

    The routine for the F16 had him do just about everything, including flying nose high at 125. I had not idea it could do that. And loud!! Fast! Amazing...

    Anyone else go?

    Sounds Like a good show. The Blew Angles do the high alpha pass at the Sea Fair Shows when they are here.

    Spent the entire week at the show. Took a T-34. The show seemed bigger and better this year. French jet team was there for a couple of days. Neatest thing I remember is the privately owned T-38 with an unbelievable paint job.

    I wanted to go, but went to the Celebration car show instead. The F16 is incredible. So loud for a single engine...

    Yep, did Celebration too, what a blast! Jay Leno was EXCELLENT! Cheap Trick was good, the cars where great! Also did FCA2017. Daytona is an amazing track, iconic of course. Julie, my pilot even received an award, gold wheels and all...

    Here's a few Sun and Fun shots..the Tecnam was very cool, like a modern sleek 182. They just lost a twin a few weeks ago with two pilot instructors that were doing stalls. The twin has two 100 hp engines. What's not to like about a Bo jetprop and the ultimate Turbin singles, Meridian, PC, and TBM.

    This is about the most unexpected thing I saw there, and very cool. What an imagination.

    This Airplane-Engine 1939 Plymouth Pickup is Radically Radial

    Sounds like you had a busy and amazing weekend! I remember that truck from Jay Leno's show. Very creative.

    Haven't been to Sun and Fun for many years, and have never been to the Celebration festival. Next year, after I retire......
