I am involved in planning for this year's SUN 'n FUN event, and wanted to relay important changes to the parking plan, changes that will allow us to linger, inspect and otherwise enjoy other folks craftsmanship.
Our former Homebuilt parking area was just north of the central (core) area of SnF, and this parking sat right under the lateral path of our showcase flybys--which are flown at 500'. Because of FAA regulations concerning flight over populated areas, the FSDO allowed us to park aircraft there but the occupants were not allowed to linger in that area after parking.
Naturally, we want to see each other's aircraft--comparing innovations and enjoying other people's build quality are some of the joys of what we do. We received a lot of well-deserved complaints in the past three years over the requirement to vacate that parking area during the flyby period, which normally takes place between 10 am and the beginning of the airshow, normally 1 or 1:30 pm. That's a lot of time required to be outside the area you wanted to be in. You made valid points, and we listened.
Our new Homebuilt parking area is evolving--and this year's efforts are part of a multi-year push to expand and enhance your SnF experience. This year's primary Homebuilt parking will be located on the south side of taxiway E, just to the east of Vintage. Overflow Homebuilt aircraft will be taken to the north side of E, just across from the main parking area.
The good news? This area is NOT inside the overflight clear zone, and you WILL be able to remain, linger, drool, covet, envy, inspect, polish, buy, photograph, and otherwise enjoy all of the other Homebuilts in the area full time, regardless of flybys or even the air show. This area is just for parking (no camping), and your windshield sign should read HB to get there.
If you wish to camp beside your aircraft, the normal Homebuilt Camping area has not changed locations. Use the HBC sign to be directed to that point.
We are rolling the area prior to the show to ensure smoothness. We will also compress parking spot distances to ensure we get as many aircraft into that area, but of course we will do so with the safety and security of your aircraft in mind. We don't move aircraft after they have been parked and positioned with the owner present.
Feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. Our job is to provide you a great experience at SUN 'n FUN, and I promise we will do our best.
Oh--and here's the NOTAM. There will be minor revisions, so be sure to look for those before you take off.
See ya!!!

John Leenhouts was at the QB meeting while back said they're expecting one of their best shows ever.

For the Vietnam era guys, Wednesday should be a good one, going to have a guy bailout of a Caribou, then the Cavanaugh Flight Museum will reenact a SAR demo with pyro.
