Dale and I flew out of Austin on Monday, arriving after a very turbulent flight in the rain....our bags got wet and some of the clothes were pretty damp. We picked up our rental car and checked into our room in
Brandon.Up early, the rainhad stopped, off we went to Sun'n Fun
wondering how wet and nasty it was going to be. Weather had prevented most of the planes from arriving, so we checked the vendors, talked to some old friends and looked at the planes on hand. The next day the skies cleared and we got to the gate even earlier. We walked around, looked at planes before enjoying our picnic lunch under t
he trees. I took off to find a spot in the shade for the airshow while Dale went to see the vendors again. The sky got dark, the wind began to blow, and they announced the show had been delayed because of a line of thunderstorms approaching. We waited for a while, then headed out to have dinner and go back to the hotel. The storms hit and it rained most of the night.... we awoke to find severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings in our area and decided to stay at the hotel. A good call, because the airshow was hit by a bad storm and at least one tornado. Many planes were damaged or destroyed during the storm....so sad! Friday we flew back home to Texas....our trip had come to an end....Sun'n Fun was kinda a bust this year!
