We had to cancel my mother's funeral. Her remains will be buried in a small ceremony attended by almost nobody.

It's funny how in the course of a few weeks, what disappoints you can change.

Good luck, everybody. Be safe. See you whenever.

Sorry to hear about your mother's passing. Lost mine many years ago, and I still want to call her first thing when something cool happens.

Sun ‘n Fun has been postponed until May 5 to 10, 2020, on concerns over the spread of COVID-19. According to Tampa’s foxnews13, the city of Lakeland made the announcement on Friday morning. As of Friday afternoon, the Sun ‘n Fun organization hadn’t returned AVweb’s calls and emails for details on the rescheduling, but some exhibitors were aware of the change.

City authorities said Friday that a decision will be made on April 17 on whether another postponement will be necessary “depending on the virus and what happens between now and then.” The show was originally scheduled for March 31 to April 5. As numerous venues and events are being canceled or postponed in Florida and throughout the country, at least two exhibitors notified AVweb that they had canceled even before the postponement announcement. A third told us it was evaluating the situation.

Everyone knows. You’re 3 days and 10 posts late with that news.

Cancelled for 2020. See you next year.

I started (accidentally) volunteering at Sun n' Fun during the tornadoes in 2010, and have gone from gopher to working in Air Ops. While the show must normally go one, the organization has (correctly, I feel) decided to cancel the show for this year.

Sun n' Fun is a 501(c)3 charity. If you'd like to help support the organization and it's charitable efforts, please consider buying a cool 2020 t-shirt commemorating The Greatest Airshow that Never Happened.
