Cat Shot and Sprint competition returns to SUN ’n FUN

By General Aviation News Staff · February 15, 2014 ·

LAKELAND, Florida — In celebration of the 40th year of SUN ‘n FUN, the Cat Shot and Sprint competition is returning to the annual fly-in.

A 40-mile course featuring both a timed takeoff and timed circuit around the course from a flying start will be open to piston aircraft.

Sharp piloting skills and precision navigation is required on such a short course to be successful, organizers note.

Classes will be based on participation.

Participation will be limited due to tight schedule constraints during the April 3 afternoon airshow. A mandatory pilot briefing will be conducted on Thursday morning, April 3.
