How complicated is it to fly into Sun-n-Fun? I read the stories of
Oskosh and, as an 80 hour private pilot, I wouldn't touch that by air.
I fly out of Orlando executive, so Lakeland is only ~49 miles and I
think it would be cool to motor down for one day (maybe bring one or
both of my boys along).

Any thoughts?


As with Oshkosh, it depends on the day and time of day you plan to
arrive.
If you want to arrive mid-day on the first couple of day of the event,
traffic will be heavy.
If you choose to arrive in the middle of the week when the airport opens
to arrivals, traffic will be light.
The best advice is to make your first trip with an experienced pilot in
the right seat to learn what it is like and talk you through what to
expect and how to respond to a situation.
