I was the one sitting casually on the right of the Royal Air Force Air Cadet you spoke to at 5:24 , glad i finally found a video with me in it 😁 just in time aswell since i'm doing a lesson on aircraft marshalling for my cadets (i recently became a staff member) to show them what i experienced
Martin, you made a FANTASTIC video!! Thank you for sharing this video with all of us. I go to SnF every year and show videos and picture to family and friend but what you have done here is capture the essence of what Sun n Fun is and about. Again, thank you!
Pleasantly surprised at how many folks from overseas were attending. Music isn't the only way people can come together. I'm digging the tailcam as well; nice touch. Your vlog here was very well presented. Bravo!!
This is a great Video and I really enjoyed watching it. My husband and I are Volunteer's at Sun-N-Fun and have been for 24 years. We devote our time to the G.A.C. area so we may have seen you... 2020 was such a disappointment with all the covid stuff... We love it there and return like the others said, to reconnect with our friends there.... Glad you had a great time and we hope you were able to make it to the show this year.. God Bless...
Thank you, Raylice. For the feedback, and also for volunteering for so many years. I did make it to SNF this year and had a great time. And instead of one overall SNF video, I am making seven this year, highlighting a few lesser-known things. Four of the seven are already out there. All the best! - Martin
Absolutely. The people who do this are the unsung heroes of fly-ins. No way events like AirVenture and Sun 'n Fun could happen without their help. - Martin
Looks like such a great time! My neck would be sooo sore from looking up, that's for sure! Thanks for taking the time and sharing! oh, and $3.00 water, ouch! 2:16
Hi Chuck, some of the prices were high, but there was cheaper water as well. After a couple of days, you figure out what to bring to the show, and where to go to buy things. It's not too bad, actually. And surprisingly my neck never hurt! :-) - Martin
Greetings from Lakeland FL, I'm glad you like the Sun 'n Fun. I'm currently a student at the air school at lakeland linder. It's nice to see this video on your channel.
Thanks! Are you going to school to be a pilot, or what kind of degree/education are you getting there? I can't wait to come back to Lakeland next spring. - Martin
Since I came back at least 50 times to this video during the last year or so, it is time to say thank you for this nice edit. I was planning to visit the expo in 2020 and this vid really had a huge impact on that. Well, let's see if 2021 works out. Danke für deine Videos, vielleicht sehen wir uns nächstes Jahr ;) Viele Grüße aus Wiesbaden! Julian
Hallo Julian, ja, wirklich schade, dass es dieses Jahr mit Sun 'n Fun nicht geklappt hat, und nun ist auch Oshkosh abgesagt. Das kann ja im nächsten Jahr nur besser werden - ich drücke jedenfalls die Daumen. Gruss, Martin
Martin, what a fantastic video of Sun 'n Fun. Your photography is excellent as well as the narration. I really enjoyed your adventure! Keep up the good work!
Good luck for your flight training and license, Tony. I think Sun 'n Fun is a great event for anyone interested in airplanes - you'll have a great time! - Martin
My son was one of the RAF Air Cadets detachment who send a squad to volunteer every year to assist at the Sun 'N' Fun show You were guided in by one of them :-). 00:53
That's cool! I spoke with a few of the RAF Air Cadets later in the week, and they seemed to be truly enjoying being there and helping out at the event. Too bad it couldn't take place this year. - Martin
They had all gone through their preliminary training for the event this year when the pandemic hit. I really feel sorry for this years detachment as they were so looking forward to it.
A big thank you to all the volunteers at Sun&Fun. Also a big thanks Martin to you for interviewing them. This video is the only one i have seen so far that shows also this side of the event. 👍 You managed to film the atmosphere of such a great show. So again a BIG THANKS! Greetings from Germany.
Thank you for the great video. I saw two videos referring to "Sun and Fun" just today. One on "Corporate Pilot Life" and one on "Lew Dixon Aviation". This looks like a lot of fun and we shall try to attend next year. Thanks very much for the wonderful video.
Yes, lots of Sun 'n Fun coverage here on UA-cam, and lots of Fun in Lakeland for sure. I don't think you will be disappointed if you come out next year. Thanks for the kind words on my video, I appreciate it. - Martin
You make some of the most professional videos I have seen. Not just for flying, but over all of UA-cam! I mean, this could have been a documentary on television. Great job. I was totally stressed for you from the video when you flew there. I don't know how brave I would be handling all that traffic! Thanks for the great content.
Thank you, I'm happy to hear that. And I figured after "Lost over Lakeland", I owed my viewers a video just for fun, without the added adrenaline. Hopefully this one did the job - it sure brought back all sorts of nice memories when I was editing. - Martin
As I commented before I loved camping there with our scouts...the foggy sunday morning was surreal, nicely captured as was the entire experience. Your storytelling is just amazing, I think its because I concur with the things you're focused - great people, friends, interviewing volunteers and attendees to hear where folks are from, and sharing a great time focused on aviation...you really have a gift to capture the essence and telling about the experience, well done. Very well done, de Mike.
Thanks a lot for yet another very nice comment - much appreciated. I kind of want to make more Sun 'n Fun videos, but I have used all my material. It was so much fun, and I hope it shows in the videos that I had a great time there. Next stop: AirVenture in Oshkosh - I haven't been there in years, but I'll go this summer. Best, Martin
I'm trying to catch up with your videos. Never been to Sun & Fun since I don't fly the East Coast but your video made up for it. Thank you for your time. Fly safe.
Thank you, David. I admit I had to look up "Dayton Hamvention"; I have had no exposure to the ham radio world. 20,000+ people with a common interest getting together - sounds like fun! Best regards, Martin
"The bike guy" - that's funny, Scott! :-) I remember there were only a few people with bicycles, but I also remember I wasn't the only one in the GAC area. At any rate, please tell your wife thank you for the coffee from me, and I look forward to my next Sun 'n Fun in 2020. Best regards, Martin
I will, she sets up that coffee station every year. She loves meeting the old friends from years past and getting to know the news ones who just showed up for the first time. I worked GAC parking the first three years, but now ride my motorcycle on the ramps, guiding planes through pedestrian areas. The Sun N Fun is a fun place to volunteer each year. Take care will see you next year.
Your videos are always of the finest quality but this one takes it to a new level! I really enjoyed it and it is a perfectly accurate representation of the wonderful fun that we had that week! Great shot of my airplane, and I got to see how bald my head really is on the shot from the back of the golf cart! Amazing video man!
Thank you, Josh - I appreciate the kind words. I loved making this video, maybe because it brought back so many nice memories. Already looking forward to Oshkosh, and to next year's Sun 'n Fun! All the best! - Martin
Martin many probably don’t appreciate the vast amount of time producing a video like that takes. Thank you for your commitment to promoting the aviation community.
Thanks for the great video! Have gone to Oshkosh about 30 times but have never made it to Sun and Fun since we live in Arizona and Washington. Look forward to OSH this year. Must admit that the only thing I did not enjoy last year was the drone part of the night show...lasted too long and the only way you could tell the formation was from the announcer.
As always... Another excellent video, but this one is exceptionally so. As a video editor, filmmaker/producer, & camera man (though the latter as been a few years) you're giving me a run for my money. LOL We might just have to get you out here to CA. Great job Martin! Probably the best I've seen of SNF. Looks like you spent some time on this, and your experience at this point is really showing!
From the comments I see you've been watching N70TB videos today, Cousin. I think you had saved the best for last; I am very pleased with how the Sun 'n Fun video turned out - despite the fact that it's not doing too well on UA-cam, but then I realize there are literally hundreds of Sun 'n Fun videos out there that mine competes with for viewers. Just looking at the project folder on my RAID, it's showing 848GB of files. With my new camera - I bought a Sony a7iii with a couple of good lenses a few months ago - the file sizes go up, but the quality of the footage is much better than what I used to capture in the past. And yes, this one did take a lot longer to edit than my average projects. Now I'm already thinking about video projects for Oshkosh this year; after many years I'll be back there in July. Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. If you want to help me, share the video with your friends - I'm always happy about new viewers and subscribers. All the best, Martin
@@martinpauly Thank you. I know it's a lot of work, and I have definitely mentioned your vids to others, and will continue to do so. As for my comment: It's just true, and your editing is more on a professional level on this video. (Especially the creative aspect.) I also noticed the difference in the video quality. If I'm not using RED, or other 4K & pro cameras, Sony has always been a favorite of mine. (I used to shoot a lot of Interviews with the Sony HD series.)
Martin, this is a special video. Thank you. You captured the essence of Sun and Fun. Now I can share this with my non-pilot friends and they will finally understand why I go every year!
Martin, i would love to learn more about making videos. Thinking of documenting my instrument training. What kind of camera, editing software and hooking up to capture audio and video. If you have a you tube instruction video let me know. Thanks and safe flying.
@@georgegagnon4566 Hi George, I recorded a class I taught in Lakeland about making flying videos. I can turn that into a video for my channel, for the "how to" section. Best regards, Martin
As always Martin your video's rival anything Hollywood could put out. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Nice to know you and I both have the same lottery dream plane choice. Got to sit in a PC12-NG a while back, fit nicely. Looking forward to your next one. Was good to see all the folks from different countries coming together for aviation. Good to see Conrad enjoying himself where else but the bar! Have never been to Sun n Fun will have to put it on the list. Planning for a circumnavigation of Alaska June of 2020 so it probably won't be next year but maybe 2021. Mike
Hey Mike, Conrad sure had a good time there - it was great to see him, and Todd A. who flew there with Conrad. Will I see you in Knoxville next month? - Martin
Thanks, Pedro. Sadly, Sun 'n Fun 2020 has been postponed - I guess is still at risk of being canceled completely. I had been looking forward to it. - Martin
Yeah, I bet it's loud. One evening I rode my bicycle in a loop around the airport, and there was no escaping the noise. I hope all the airport neighbors like airplanes! :-) - Martin
This is the best video I've seen in many many years, maybe ever, that captures what it's like to attend one of the big shows like SNF or OSH. Many other videos tend to assume you already know what you're looking at. This was perfect for both pilots and non-pilots to really understand what goes on. Absolutely fantastic work!
Thank you very much for the kind words. It was a fun event for sure, and maybe the fact that I experienced the on-field camping for the first time allowed me to portray it in the way you described. Now my eyes are on Oshkosh, and I'd love to come back to Lakeland next year. Best regards, Martin
Martin, Just a note to say thank you for all the work that you put into your video's. You always put together interesting and informative content and this one is no exception. Looks like a really fun week.
Fantastic video!!! As one of the 3600 I applaude you for terrific portrayal of a great aircraft gathering. Please come back and stop by the GAP HQ trailer and say Hi!
Bill, thank you for your kind words, but more importantly: thank you for volunteering at Sun 'n Fun. I plan to be back in 2020 and will think about other video ideas until then. All the best! - Martin
@@martinpauly LOL Yeah, I guess that would help a bit. I had to 'sit up' when you mentioned the PC-12! Yup. Good taste. That would probably be my first choice too. (I'll have to keep working...) I've been drooling over those for a few years now. But you'll love this: A friend of mine just bought one last October!! And he's not even a pilot!! (Yes. He is very wealthy.) He got a tour of the factory in Switzerland, and bought a lifetime membership with EAA to boot! He is going to Oshkosh this year, & I asked if I could hitch a ride, but he has to fly straight to NY after that for some business, and is bringing family, so we'll see. But, now he's looking at possibly getting the PC-24! LOL! Sigh...
@@Cousin. Wow, that would be a dream come true! If you do make it to Oshkosh, whether in the PC-12 or otherwise, by all means let me know. I'll be there the whole week. Would love to chat with you about what you do in terms of video or movie production. Best, Martin
Outstanding video! You just made my memory of the event even more amazing, watching the airshow on your channel is better than being there.... well almost. Had a great time there and again it was a pleasure meeting you.
Thanks, Scott - very happy to hear that. I did like how the airshow turned out in the video; even after watching it 20+ times (while editing) it never got boring. Though it's not quite the same if those afterburners of the Hornets aren't pointed at you, right? :-) Hope to see you again soon. All the best, Martin
New subscriber here. I've always been attracted to aviation, but never followed my dream unfortunately. Watched four of your videos so far and absolutely love your content. Thank you for all the time it takes to shoot and edit the videos for the rest of us to enjoy.
Martin, great job creating this video, I really enjoyed it. Of all your videos so far, this one is my favorite. I love the interviews and the incredibly clear shots of the airshows. I've never been to SNF but I really want to go now! Great work!
Thanks, Matt. You should plan to go one of these years - I think you would really enjoy it. As for the video, my new camera and the better lenses really helped capture things in good quality. I'm still learning how to use all the new gear, though. - Martin
Robert, if I can get a few people to go to an airshow who have never been, it makes it all worthwhile for me. I hope you'll have as much fun as I did. All the best, Martin
Absolutely fantastic video!👌👍 Hopefully at some point some time I'll get the opportunity to join in in the Sun & Fun.👌✌ but unfortunately living in the UK it's quite a long way to travel, but who knows! Maybe one day hey! By the way! Total respect and admiration to all the incredible Volunteers who without them such incredibly amazing, brilliant events like Sun & Fun, and Oshkosh would not be possible without all your incredible efforts and hardwork!👌👍✌🙏
Thank you for the kind words. And since you are from the UK: now you know you can join the RAF cadets and travel to Lakeland that way. :-) Regards, Martin
Great video! It brought me right back to Sun n Fun! Cant believe it's over already. We spent a lot of years in aircraft camping and have a ton of great memories there. Liked and Subbed
John, glad you liked it - and even better if it motivates more people to come to the fly-in next year. For sure I'll be there again. Best regards, Martin
Excellent video. I was there and you captured the flavor of the event perfectly. You must have a background in videography; this is one of the best you tube aviation productions I've viewed.
Thank you for the kind words, Jay. I have never worked professionally in video, but I've done it for many years as a hobby - and I like storytelling. Glad to hear I can out these things to use in my videos. Best regards, Martin
We are going to Sun N Fun this year and will be doing GAC as well. We will be arriving Thursday, do you think it will be hard to get a camping spot coming in so late ??
Hi Kevin and Kaylee. I have never arrived at Sun 'n Fun that late in the week, so I cannot tell you from own experience. Having said that, Thursday you might find the first planes leaving which arrived earlier, so some spots will open up again. - Martin
Hi Lance. Yes, that's you and Barb - I recorded this clip while we were in line to checkout at lunch together. I'm glad we got to get together that day. Did you have a good stay in Venice? Take care. - Martin
Yes, the weather was great and I was able to ski a dozen times. This was the first time ever for Barb to attend a fly-in and she had a great time. Bodes well for my future!
Lots of SNF videos posted. This one takes the top prize! Nice work Martin and take care. Hope you return in 2020?
Thank you, John - you are too kind.
Yes, absolutely, I will be back in Lakeland in 2020.
Best regards, Martin
@@martinpauly I'm Ray, an RV owner. I'm coming from Australia: I'll look for you mate :-)
Ray Williams Cool - I hope you’ll like Sun ‘n Fun as much as I do!
I was the one sitting casually on the right of the Royal Air Force Air Cadet you spoke to at 5:24 , glad i finally found a video with me in it 😁 just in time aswell since i'm doing a lesson on aircraft marshalling for my cadets (i recently became a staff member) to show them what i experienced

Thanks, Ronald.

See you next year.

Must admit that the only thing I did not enjoy last year was the drone part of the night show...lasted too long and the only way you could tell the formation was from the announcer.

Looking forward to Oshkosh!

If I'm not using RED, or other 4K & pro cameras, Sony has always been a favorite of mine. (I used to shoot a lot of Interviews with the Sony HD series.)
Martin, this is a special video. Thank you. You captured the essence of Sun and Fun. Now I can share this with my non-pilot friends and they will finally understand why I go every year!
That's what I was hoping to create, Dennis. Glad you liked it.

Excellent video Martin, thank you ! Great variety, showing all different aspects of the show.
Thank you, Randy.
- Martin
Great video look forward to attending one day.
Martin, i would love to learn more about making videos. Thinking of documenting my instrument training. What kind of camera, editing software and hooking up to capture audio and video. If you have a you tube instruction video let me know. Thanks and safe flying.
@@georgegagnon4566 Hi George, I recorded a class I taught in Lakeland about making flying videos. I can turn that into a video for my channel, for the "how to" section.
Best regards, Martin
As always Martin your video's rival anything Hollywood could put out. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Nice to know you and I both have the same lottery dream plane choice. Got to sit in a PC12-NG a while back, fit nicely. Looking forward to your next one. Was good to see all the folks from different countries coming together for aviation. Good to see Conrad enjoying himself where else but the bar! Have never been to Sun n Fun will have to put it on the list. Planning for a circumnavigation of Alaska June of 2020 so it probably won't be next year but maybe 2021. Mike
Hey Mike, Conrad sure had a good time there - it was great to see him, and Todd A. who flew there with Conrad.
Will I see you in Knoxville next month?
- Martin
@@martinpauly Sorry to say no I can't make it this year. Fell on my working weekend and one of my partners has the plane that week.
@@jetdoctn Bummer - I hope to see you again soon somewhere else then.
Great Video !!!
Thanks, Pedro.
Sadly, Sun 'n Fun 2020 has been postponed - I guess is still at risk of being canceled completely. I had been looking forward to it.
- Martin
Great Parking Spot!
Yes, it really was a great spot. If I could get the same exact spot again next year, I'd be thrilled!
Best, Martin
Great video! I live about 2 miles from the airport, and lemme tell ya it gets loud during the week. lol It is a great show though!
Yeah, I bet it's loud. One evening I rode my bicycle in a loop around the airport, and there was no escaping the noise. I hope all the airport neighbors like airplanes! :-)
- Martin
Wonderful video… New subscriber… Looking forward to many future videos from you!
You share my dream Martin. I’d also love to own a PC-12👍
What's not to love - right? I know copilot Beckey would really like to have the lavatory!
Regards, Martin

Nicely done Martin!!
Thank you, Steve!
- Martin
Great video Martin😁👍👍
Brings back fond memories of the show this year! Great video!
Thank you, Ben. Glad you enjoyed it.
- Martin
Haha... I enjoyed listening to you named all the different kind of plane like baba naming the different kind of Shrimp in forest gum!
Love your videos Marty. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
My pleasure, Chris.
- Martin
This is the best video I've seen in many many years, maybe ever, that captures what it's like to attend one of the big shows like SNF or OSH. Many other videos tend to assume you already know what you're looking at. This was perfect for both pilots and non-pilots to really understand what goes on. Absolutely fantastic work!
Thank you very much for the kind words. It was a fun event for sure, and maybe the fact that I experienced the on-field camping for the first time allowed me to portray it in the way you described.
Now my eyes are on Oshkosh, and I'd love to come back to Lakeland next year.
Best regards, Martin
Martin, Just a note to say thank you for all the work that you put into your video's. You always put together interesting and informative content and this one is no exception. Looks like a really fun week.
Thanks for the kind feedback, Steve. Yes, it was a fantastic week; the word "fun" in "Sun 'n Fun" is well deserved.
Best, Martin
Fantastic video!!! As one of the 3600 I applaude you for terrific portrayal of a great aircraft gathering. Please come back and stop by the GAP HQ trailer and say Hi!
Bill, thank you for your kind words, but more importantly: thank you for volunteering at Sun 'n Fun. I plan to be back in 2020 and will think about other video ideas until then.
All the best!
- Martin
Reason #1116 why you should own a Bonanza: "Look at all that stuff you brought with you!!" = D
Yes - but get the A36 with the big doors in the back!
- Martin
@@martinpauly LOL Yeah, I guess that would help a bit. I had to 'sit up' when you mentioned the PC-12! Yup. Good taste. That would probably be my first choice too. (I'll have to keep working...) I've been drooling over those for a few years now. But you'll love this: A friend of mine just bought one last October!! And he's not even a pilot!! (Yes. He is very wealthy.) He got a tour of the factory in Switzerland, and bought a lifetime membership with EAA to boot! He is going to Oshkosh this year, & I asked if I could hitch a ride, but he has to fly straight to NY after that for some business, and is bringing family, so we'll see. But, now he's looking at possibly getting the PC-24! LOL! Sigh...
@@Cousin. Wow, that would be a dream come true!
If you do make it to Oshkosh, whether in the PC-12 or otherwise, by all means let me know. I'll be there the whole week. Would love to chat with you about what you do in terms of video or movie production.
Best,
Martin
@@martinpauly Will do. Definitely. I've been wanting to meet you, and actually introduce myself, but gee, I want to talk to you about flying! LOL
Looked like good time,,and oh yes the fans were a nice welcome lol thanks again for great video
Regards Steve B
I marshaled as a volunteer for years I got to bring in you flight chops and stevokinoevo and was parked behind aviation101
Very cool! Now I'm curious - where did you marshal me? Sun 'n Fun, or somewhere else?
Thank you for doing that!
- Martin
Your videos are amazing, thanks for making them. Can’t wait for your next one 🍺
Thanks, Gary - happy to hear that.
- Martin
Couldn't be there myself, but really enjoyed this! Felt like I was there for a day, thank you Martin.
Glad you liked the video, David.
Regards, Martin
Many thanks for the wonderful video Martin, excellent 👌
Glad you enjoyed it, Bill.
- Martin
Outstanding video! You just made my memory of the event even more amazing, watching the airshow on your channel is better than being there.... well almost. Had a great time there and again it was a pleasure meeting you.
Thanks, Scott - very happy to hear that. I did like how the airshow turned out in the video; even after watching it 20+ times (while editing) it never got boring. Though it's not quite the same if those afterburners of the Hornets aren't pointed at you, right? :-)
Hope to see you again soon.
All the best, Martin
New subscriber here. I've always been attracted to aviation, but never followed my dream unfortunately. Watched four of your videos so far and absolutely love your content. Thank you for all the time it takes to shoot and edit the videos for the rest of us to enjoy.
Thank you, Jeff - for the kind words, and also for the subscription. Much appreciated!
Best regards, Martin
DIDN'T MAKE IT BUT THANKS FOR THE VIDEO WAS GREAT MARTIN.
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it.
Best, Martin
Hope to see you at Oshkosh.
I'll be there! :-)
Regards, Martin
Best Sun n Fun vid so far this year. Keep up the great work Martin!
Thank you, Andrew.
- Martin
Thanks Martin, hope to see you there.
Martin, great job creating this video, I really enjoyed it. Of all your videos so far, this one is my favorite. I love the interviews and the incredibly clear shots of the airshows. I've never been to SNF but I really want to go now! Great work!
Thanks, Matt. You should plan to go one of these years - I think you would really enjoy it.
As for the video, my new camera and the better lenses really helped capture things in good quality. I'm still learning how to use all the new gear, though.
- Martin
We've got to go next year!
Yes! That's the spirit!
I hope you can make it happen.
- Martin
Excellent video, felt like I was there! Thanks Martin, love your channel
Glad to hear - thank you!
- Martin
Great video, Martin! Thank you! Now I want to go next year!
That's the idea, Alan. I didn't know what I was missing before I went - for sure I'll be back next year.
- Martin
Great Video. I've never been to an Air Show and I've seen what you have shown and I am stoked. I will be there in 2020. Thank you.
Robert, if I can get a few people to go to an airshow who have never been, it makes it all worthwhile for me. I hope you'll have as much fun as I did.
All the best, Martin
Absolutely fantastic video!👌👍 Hopefully at some point some time I'll get the opportunity to join in in the Sun & Fun.👌✌ but unfortunately living in the UK it's quite a long way to travel, but who knows! Maybe one day hey! By the way! Total respect and admiration to all the incredible Volunteers who without them such incredibly amazing, brilliant events like Sun & Fun, and Oshkosh would not be possible without all your incredible efforts and hardwork!👌👍✌🙏
Thank you for the kind words.
And since you are from the UK: now you know you can join the RAF cadets and travel to Lakeland that way. :-)
Regards, Martin
I was there sunday,How did i miss seeing you lol.Maybe next year
Bestes Shirt!
The Hawaiian shit with the warplanes? Yes, I like that a lot! :-)
- Martin
@@martinpauly Exactly that one ;)
Oh and also great video, you're setting the bar higher every time!
Guten Flug!
Nice job on the video. I've been a regular at SNF since '86.
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it.
- Martin
Great video! It brought me right back to Sun n Fun! Cant believe it's over already. We spent a lot of years in aircraft camping and have a ton of great memories there. Liked and Subbed
Glad you liked it - thanks for the feedback, and for the subscription.
I guess now we are all waiting for Oshkosh to start. :-)
Regards, Martin
Thanks Martin ...Look FWD to hearing your LOP presentation at OSH
Looking forward to it, Bob. It'll be on Monday at 4:00 PM. See you there.
- Martin
Great video Martin, we couldn’t make it, so this was the next best thing!!!
It's not the same as being there in person, but I guess it's better than nothing.
Hopefully you can join next year.
Best regards, Martin
Nice video Martin , best I have seem so far. Sun and Fun, I want some of it.
Thank you very much! :-)
Best regards, Martin
Hi, Martin. Great video. You've motivated me to go to SNF next year! I fly a BE36 and really enjoy all your videos. Keep up the great work!
John, glad you liked it - and even better if it motivates more people to come to the fly-in next year. For sure I'll be there again.
Best regards, Martin
Martin, this was a great video, thank you!
It was so hot this year at the show.
It sure was towards the end of the week, Jim. The first couple of days were much nicer.
- Martin
Excellent video. I was there and you captured the flavor of the event perfectly. You must have a background in videography; this is one of the best you tube aviation productions I've viewed.
Thank you for the kind words, Jay.
I have never worked professionally in video, but I've done it for many years as a hobby - and I like storytelling. Glad to hear I can out these things to use in my videos.
Best regards, Martin
Nice video Martin. Looking forward to meeting you at Oshkosh !
Thanks, Even - I can't wait for AirVenture!
- Martin
The pilatus PC 12 is my lottery plane too
I'm with you brother, if I could just win the lotto..........🛫🛫🛫
We are going to Sun N Fun this year and will be doing GAC as well. We will be arriving Thursday, do you think it will be hard to get a camping spot coming in so late ??
Hi Kevin and Kaylee. I have never arrived at Sun 'n Fun that late in the week, so I cannot tell you from own experience. Having said that, Thursday you might find the first planes leaving which arrived earlier, so some spots will open up again.
- Martin
Maybe next year
I don't do heat and humidity either.
Great video as usual Martin. Is that my wife and the back of my head in the food line at 8:27? (lance)
Hi Lance. Yes, that's you and Barb - I recorded this clip while we were in line to checkout at lunch together. I'm glad we got to get together that day. Did you have a good stay in Venice?
Take care.
- Martin
Yes, the weather was great and I was able to ski a dozen times. This was the first time ever for Barb to attend a fly-in and she had a great time. Bodes well for my future!
@@Gismo1951 Very nice - so now you can bring Barb to Knoxville, and then to Oshkosh!
