Sun n Fun 2017 is scheduled for April 4 through 9, at Lakeland Linder Airport, in Lakeland, Florida. It is smaller than the EAA convention in Oshkosh, but it is the second biggest gathering of sport flyers in the USA. It seems to have more ultralights, although I do not have statistics on that. If you can attend only one, make it Oshkosh, but if you are able to get to Lakeland, you should enjoy it.
Typically, the weather is similar to what we had at Oshkosh on Monday and Tuesday this year.
I have two gathering places in mind for HBAers - the OX5 / Pioneers club house, for AM coffee, and Magaritaville after the airshow for your favorite beverage.
I realize that this is early, but I've been hanging around here long enough to know that those of you who are paying into Social Security (thank you - hope that there is someone to pay you when the time comes) will need plenty of time to schedule vacation and convince the family to go to Disney World without you, and the other retirees will need awhile to mull it over.
Check your calendar, and start considering it.
