Free Sun ‘n Fun app from Sporty’s

By Janice Wood · March 8, 2011 ·

Sporty’s, in collaboration with SUN ’n FUN, has created a mobile app for the 2011 show, available free through the iTunes App store.

“We created this app as a service to SUN ’n FUN attendees,” said Sporty’s Vice President John Zimmerman. “All of us pilots who love our phones and iPads will be able to put them to more good use with this free app from Sporty’s.”

After downloading the free app, pilots can use it to buy advance tickets for SUN ‘n FUN and shop for supplies or charts for the trip. The complete SUN ’n FUN NOTAM is included.  Once at the show, the SUN ‘n FUN app has maps of the convention grounds, the campgrounds, an aerial map, Splash-in map, and the tram route map.

The app also includes the schedule of forums, workshops, the daily air show and the evening programs.

The SUN ’n FUN app also contains a database of all SUN ‘n FUN exhibitors. With this handy app, you won’t wander around looking for a particular company since the location of every exhibitor will be at your fingertips. You can even mark favorite exhibitors you want to visit.

“SUN ‘n FUN is grateful that our friends at Sporty’s took the initiative to work with us to develop this first generation app for a very important segment of our attendees,” said John Burton, SUN ’n FUN President and Convention Chairman. “We look forward to continuing our great relationship with Sporty’s in this and other projects that will enhance the value and availability of the app for all smart phone users attending this and future SUN ‘n FUN annual events.”
