Event Description
EVENT DESCRIPTION AND OVERVIEW
The 2023 CAP EVENT at the SUN ‘n FUN AEROSPACE EXPO (SnF) is a 10-day event at Lakeland Linder Airport and attracts more than 160,000 aviation minded people from around the world. Part exhibition/part airshow, Sun n Fun is the nations second-largest aviation event after EAA Air Venture in Oshkosh, WI. The CAP partnership with SUN ‘n FUN is a perfect fit with all three core components of the CAP mission. CAP provides ES and operations support.
Aerospace Education hands-on activities and aviation-related vendors are plentiful and abundant. Cadet and Senior Officer participation is essential to fulfilling the many volunteer roles needed for a show of this size. This year, the known and loved “SunNFun” event will grow to new heights and will be receiving a new name which will be announced at a later date. For the purposes of this Ops Order, “CAP EVENT” will stand in place of this new name.
This activity will have 4 distinct missions: Hangar Duty (security and crowd control), CAP’s Corporate Mission (Emergency Services), the “Sun N Fun” event (safety, airshow crowd control, flight line marshaling, and the cadet activity), and Emergency Services/Flight Line Marshalling training. In addition, there will be exciting cadet special activities, great food, time to see the airshow (including two night shows), the chance attend forums, or visit vendor exhibits. As in the past, Florida Wing will play a vital role throughout this amazing airshow!
