US NAVY ‘BLUE ANGELS’ Pre-Season Brief at SUN ’n FUN

Posted on November 19, 2013 by Scott Smith
 


SUN ‘n FUN CAMPUS, LAKELAND, FL. – (November 19, 2013) – On Monday, November 25, 2013 at 10:10 a.m., U.S. Navy Lt. Commander Michael Cheng, Blue Angel #8, will arrive at the Lakeland Linder Regional Airport to conduct a pre-season briefing for the appearance of the United States Navy’s Flight Demonstration Squadron, the “Blue Angels” at the 40th Annual SUN ‘n FUN International Fly-In & Expo April 1-6, 2014.


A media briefing is scheduled for 10:20 a.m. at SUN ‘n FUN’s Florida Air Museum, 4175 Medulla Road, Lakeland, FL. While in Lakeland, April 4-6, 2014, the Blue Angels will be heavily involved with school visits accompanied by local U.S. Navy and Marine Recruiters, community outreach and media demonstration rides on “Fat Albert”, a C-130 He
rcules. Visit http://www.blueangels.navy.mil/ for more information about the Blue Angels.


I for one can’t wait for Sun N Fun.  If you haven’t been to one of the greatest airshows and flying events in the country you are missing out.  

So what are you waiting for?  Get the map out, reserve a camp site or room and start practicing the flight to Florida on your simulator.  

Don’t have a plane?  Check out airfares.  Rates are usually really good at that time of year. But don’t wait to long, its spring break so rooms fill up fast.

While you are at Sun N Fun, attend one of my buying an aircraft seminars so you can fly yourself to the event the next year.  

Once you’ve been you have to go back.

Oh, and having ridden in Fat Albert once, makes the return of the Blue Angels even more exciting.

AirVenture Webcams. Technology, isn’t it great!

Posted on July 26, 2013 by Scott Smith

If you cant make it to AirVenture or just want to see whats happening. Don’t forget the webcams.

From the EAA: 

Watch some of the action from AirVenture with our on-site webcams, provided by Discovery World.
Some of these cameras run on pre-programmed direction and show live feeds from the grounds, and some cameras (like the Air Show camera) may display live video of the daily air show as viewed through the lens of EAA’s video production team. This is not a television-quality broadcast of the event, just a chance to share their view. There will be times when the videographer is moving the camera, reviewing existing footage, etc., where you may not see the show itself. This is to be expected. Also, for the Theater in the Woods feed, this camera displays live video from evening programming. Due to contractual and other obligations, there are certain events that can not be broadcast.
