2019 Airshow Guide: SUN ‘n FUN and AERO Friedrichshafen
As the first signs of spring begin to emerge from winter in the U.S., we’re reminded that the annual aviation fly-in, airshow and exhibition season follows not too far behind. The longer daylight hours and warmer temperatures mean more flying, and more importantly, more aviation events. We’re kicking off the 2019 season at SUN ’n FUN in Lakeland, Florida, and AERO Friedrichshafen in Germany.
SUN ’n FUN International Fly-In and Expo — April 2-7, 2019
