Worse than Oshkosh.
In the 20 years I have been going to SunNFun, I have noticed that fewer
people seem to read the SNF NOTAM and/or follow the procedures.
The biggest problem, just like OSH is speed control.
They do well, maintaining 80 kts up until the Orange Ball, and then
suddenly, they slow down, backing up everything behind them.
In addition to slowing down, they fly an extended downwind instead of
turning base abeam the approach end of runway 9L.
Had they read the NOTAM, they would know that the threshhold is
displaced about 1500 feet east of the west end of the runway.

What is it like arriving and departing Lakeland during Sun 'n' Fun? I
will probably be in the area and would be interested in dropping in for
an afteroon or a day or two. What kind of arrival and departure delays
can I expect? What's parking like?
