The nation's 2nd largest fly-in, air show, and industry tradeshow, SUN 'n FUN, at Lakeland Linder Regional Airport is fast approaching and Florida Wing Civil Air Patrol is a major source of aviation aware volunteers. Volunteering is a great way for our members to get their aviation fix close to home, meet new CAP members from around the Wing, and refresh or expand your training. With 5,000 aircraft, 40,000 aircraft movements, 160,000 visitors, 500 exhibitors, and 450 seminars, there's plenty to see and do. While SUN 'n FUN runs April 13-18, CAP's major volunteer involvement and activities start 9 April and conclude 19 April.
