LAKELAND - Fly-ins attract a wide a variety of people, from those who love to see the static displays and marvel at the aerobatic performances to others who enjoy the educational aspect of these events. This year's Sun 'n Fun Fly-In was no different. Sure, the new aerobatic performances like Bobby Younkin's Learjet act and favorites like Jimmy Franklin's Jet Waco are a big part of the events. However, these are not all of the benefits to be enjoyed. Forums and educational activities area an important part of this fly-in and this year's were especially enlightening in many ways. A case in point was the ongoing series of forums on the proposed and ever-evolving Sport Pilot certificate.
