LAKELAND, FLA. – Any Midwest pilots considering flying to Florida for the 41st Annual Sun ‘n Fun International Fly-In & Expo, April 21-26, 2015 in Lakeland, Fla., won’t be disappointed in the event’s lineup of air show performers. Both the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and Breitling Jet Team will be featured, along with some of the biggest names in the air show entertainment industry.

The Breitling Jet Team will begin its first-ever United States tour on April 21 at Sun ‘n Fun. The team, comprised of seven L-39C Albatros military jets, perform a rapid-fire succession of maneuvers. To date, the team has flown across 36 countries.

The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will perform April 25-26th in their F-16 Fighting Falcons.

Other performers will include the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Red Tail Squadron with its P-51 Mustang and “Rise Above” traveling exhibit, and the “Texas Flying Legends.”

The fly-in will include a trade show with 500 exhibitors.

All event proceeds are returned to aviation-based STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) curriculums through year-round programs and activities at Sun ‘n Fun’s Aerospace Center for Excellence.
