- Blue skies and round engines are an irresistible combination for winter-weary Canadians
After the winter most Canadians endured, the “official” start to the air show season, Sun ‘n Fun in Lakeland, FL, was especially popular with Canadians this year.
Lots of Canadians make the southern migration every April for the show, which runs until Sunday at Lakeland Linder Regional Airport. Canadian exhibitors were all over the grounds and the flag was being flown at every turn.
Diamond Aircraft returned to Sun ‘n Fun with a large display that includes its latest DA42 model with turbocharged Austro diesel engines. Zenith has a large display featuring its new 750 Cruzer and Rotech Research is there with Rotax and the new sport model of the fuel-injected 912iS engine.
Canadian Aviator’s Jim Cole is there this week and has provided a gallery of photos.
