Sun N Fun Lakeland, FL.

Is anybody besides 2fat2fly and myself going to be at Sun N Fun this year?

I'll be working ATC down there Apr. 1- 11 and then plan to go over to Z-Hills for the Easter boogie.

Im coming...

Last time I was there was in a flight of 3 T-6 Texans...We took off 5 min before Charlie Hillard got killed.

Was up in the cab at AFW last week...I work for a Railroad and EVERY controller I ever met is more interested in trains than aviation and I love aviation and cant stand trains...

Last year I had to run from a T-6 that was ground looping and collapsed the left main. I was about 20 yards away on the right side of the runway when he started and I have never run so fast in all of my life.

BTW, my Dad, Grandfather, Great Aunts and Uncles all worked for the railroad (ACL/SCL/CSX) and I grew up at the train Depot. I love trains and there is nothing like a steam locomotive and the wail of the whistle to get your heart pumping. There is a nice little train museum at the old depot in Z-hills about 2 miles from the airport.

Maybe I'll see you down there. I'll be the one wearing the red ATC shirts with the platinum blond spiked hair. :S

You'll probably be busy running around organizing the easter egg hunt or some crazy 50 way Easter bunny formation! :P:)

Cool....The only cool train thing I did was ride on a BNSF Steam Special from San Bernardino to Parker AZ over the Cajon...I went because I worked there and it was free and Id be in the office if I wasnt on the train...

I swear to God, there were hundreds of thousands of people lined up all the way up the Cajon pass and into the middle of the desert to Cadiz. Rail fans are nuts....

The coolest part was the F18's buzzing us at 20 ft...

We also have a employee Race Train that takes us to NASCAR races at Texas Motor Speedway....

Wow, my dad and 2 uncles retired from Norfolk Southern. Back in the pre litigious good old days Dad would put me on a local and they'd let me ride in the engine. i could read whistle boards before i cold read street signs. Make sure you swing by the booth and say hello.
I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

Hey Big guy what can I say.

I seem to get sucked up into working everywhere I go.

I do not mind because when I was coming up there were a bunch of people who assisted me along the way so that I could be a better skydiver.

I try to always help out where I can.

Hope to see you if Uncle Sam does not have me tied up. I could be out of the state getting ready for a mobilization.

See you if I can .


Laters,

K-MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! B|

If I'm not mistaking the event, I think its Paul McGowan and the E-team skydivers. Two people from chester, Steve Vaughn and Judy Girard jump with them.

Ron Schott does it every year too...

***Hell I might go.I have not been there in years.Anyone know who does the demo jumps there?


Quote

Come on down. Last year they made the daily opening jump with the American flag about 1000am just before the airshow. I think they were jumping out of 2 C206's and did a great job. I didn't get to meet them but hopefully I will be able to this year.

At Z-hills, the Sun-n-Fun is a big event too. We get to dodge all the pointy-heads who can't read a chart.

About ever 2 hours, some bonehead will fly directly over the peas. :S

It is the weekend where everybody on the plane spots.

Last year when I was working down there my day off was Wednesday so I drove over to Zhills and made a few "avoid the dumbass" jumps. :S

I'm off on Weds again this year and I plan on going back and play "dodge plane". :P:S
