Thunderbirds to return to Sun ‘n Fun

By Janice Wood · December 8, 2009 ·

The United States Air Force Thunderbirds military jet team will return to Sun ‘n Fun in 2010.  The Sun ‘n Fun International Fly-In & Expo is slated for April 13-18 at Lakeland Linder Regional Airport (LAL) in Florida.

“Sun ‘n Fun is honored and excited to hear that the world recognized military jet team – the Thunderbirds – has included our event on their 2010 schedule,” said President and CEO John Burton. “Their participation will headline our 2010 event, adding to the exciting array of aircraft and activities already planned for our 36th anniversary celebration. We are delighted that the Thunderbirds will return to the skies over Lakeland, knowing the memorable impact their appearance made on all our guests in 2008, especially on the people and businesses throughout Lakeland, Polk County and central Florida.”

The Thunderbirds plan to arrive at Sun ‘n Fun during the second half of the six day fly-in. Performances are scheduled on Saturday, April 17, and Sunday, April 18.
