If they were fully aware of SF, they may have ... or may not. No reason to
expect those 'meat bombs' to pay any attention or even be aware of SF. If
they've done the proper notifications and Notams are issued I don't see any
reason to expect them to not to do it.

25years doesn't really change anything.

Both events pose a risk to each other due to potential irresponsible
behavior. I can't figure out any basis for preference. But I'm staying the
hell away!

From AvWeb:

"If you're planning on flying into Lakeland, Fla., for Sun 'n Fun, be on
the
alert for large formation skydiving over Zephyrhills Airport between April
14 and April 18, sunrise to sunset. Zephyrhills (ZPH) is located 16
nautical
miles northwest of Lakeland, on Lakeland's 332-degree radial. The airport
will be the site of a world record attempt involving 140 skydivers and
seven
jump aircraft. Getting caught in the middle could prove ... messy."

We are planning to fly into Sun N Fun next week. Last year we were forced
to land short, because the field was closed -- and Zephyr Hills was the
most
logical airport when coming from the north. It was an absolute zoo
getting
in there, because EVERYONE was stuck doing the same thing.

Now they're going to try to stick 140 skydivers into this mix? I'm
having
a hard time visualizing 20 aircraft coming into land -- at an uncontrolled
field -- with 140 meat-bombs under canopy... Seems like they might have
tried to find a better location and/or time for this record attempt?
