Arriving Before the Expo?
Early Arrival Aircraft Camping opens at 12:00 noon on Saturday, April 3, 2027.
Pilots arriving early may set up camp and enjoy the aviation community as SUN ’n FUN prepares for opening day.
If you leave your aircraft unattended during the early-arrival period, leave the aircraft uncovered with the brake unset, as SUN ’n FUN personnel may need to reposition aircraft as additional arrivals are accommodated.
Always follow instructions from SUN ’n FUN ground and camping personnel.
