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? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
