I haven't seen any PIREPs about Sun N Fun in this forum this year. Did
anyone go? Any new toys? Did anyone buttonhole AvMap about their
recent announcement of XM weather coming "soon"? (Something we've been
hearing from them for years, now.)

Some locals who attended said that the bad early-week weather really
chopped fly-in attendance, but that the weekend airshow crowd was very
strong...

I went... (I was the one with the crying babies in the homebuilt camping
area...sorry)
I thought it was a pretty low key show... nothing too interesting in the
airshow (I could have lived without the thunderchickens) There is a lot
more dead time during the airshow then Oshkosh.
The only thing I thought was sort of interesting is that there was a
company selling a wire free hobbs that uses engine vibration for 22
bucks. Other then that, there were a lot of affordable $120,000 LSAs
that are going to save GA I guess. I am not sure who is buying them.
