Sun n’ Fun 2019 – Recap & Reflections
Sun n’ Fun 2019 – Recap & Reflections
Earlier in the week I half jokingly discussed what it is about an airshow that attracts us and then keeps us coming back year after year. While the sound of an afterburner does get the adrenaline pumping I believe the real reason may go much deeper than that. Knowing that today was my last day for Sun ‘n Fun 2019, I thought I’d show you why I believe we enjoy and keep returning to airshows.
We come to see the big aircraft that use a lot of runway,
and little aircraft that need almost no runway.
We come to marvel at the latest in ultra high-tech…
but are reminded that the laws of aerodynamics are universal.
We come to acknowledge the hero’s of the past…
so that we can smile at the imitations of today.
We come for the loud and aggressive…
which helps us appreciate the quiet and nimble.
While all of this may be true I believe the real reason is, that as it has been since man first mastered the sky, knowing that at the end of the day the camaraderie of our fellow pilots awaits us.
Thanks for taking the time to come along with me at Sun ‘n Fun 2019. I hope that this has brought at least a little of the event to those who could not be here. Looking forward to Oshkosh and visiting with you again.
Fly Safe.
