Sun 'N Fun Airshow Temporarily Closed due to Storm

The annual Sun 'N Fun Fly-In event in Lakeland, Florida, is usually a warm and sunny airshow visited by crowds of airplane enthusiasts and interested onlookers. This BHD customer hosts the annual Sun 'N Fun 'Fly-In' about this time every year and puts over 60 Retail Pro computers to use to handle the retail business.

This year, however, Mother Nature had a different plan for this popular event. With the airstrip, runways and fields lined with displays of all types of aircraft, a tornado ripped through the show toppling aircraft and damaging scores of planes. With heavy rain, wind and moderate flooding, the crew worked around the clock to repair damages and re-open the show.

See for yourself the damage as it happened, in videos posted on YouTube. Type 'Sun 'N Fun Tornado'. We wish the best to our friends at Sun 'N Fun and applaud them for not letting the storm keep them closed to the public.
