There’s nothing like being there, but if you can’t make it, Sun ‘n Fun will be live-streaming air shows Friday, Saturday and Sunday on its own website and on liveairshowtv.com.

Despite record sales before the start of the annual Fly-In, the cancellation of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds’ appearances this weekend could dampen on-site sales. That left organizers working to find other air shows, and Sun ‘n Fun President John “Lites” Leenhouts told AVweb the Department of Defense may send a team including an F-16 Viper and an F-35 Lightning II.

… it’s one of six Ford Tri-Motors still flying. The Lakeland Aero Club is offering rides ($70-$75 adults) through Sunday | Video
