I received an email newsletter from the president on changes for 2013 as suggested by the aviation public.
Many of these issues have been discussed in this forum. This is a good start. They are listening.
Here's a snippet.
After collecting all the comments and surveys over the past month, we have come up with a few changes that will hopefully provide improvements to our world-class experiences. First, the aircraft parking areas will never be burnt again while I?m in the cockpit of SUN ?n FUN. Too much effort goes into preparing a beautiful airplane to be shown off at our event just to be trashed within minutes of parking by the soot left from burning the grass. (My Stearman still looks like it rolled in the dirt with pigs!)
Next, the airshow was way too long and will be shortened to 2.5 hours Tuesday through Thursday and 3.5 hours Friday through Sunday with the start time being approximately 2:30 to 3:00 each day. Additionally, the field will not close until the exact time the show starts and open right at the completion (approximately 6 PM). These changes will allow more of our fly-in buddies to arrive in their aircraft and enjoy all the 500 plus exhibits and vendors for a more extended period.
