Even as GA mourns the loss of Meigs field and frets over lost jobs in Wichita, the Sun ‘n Fun spring fly-in opened under cool and sunny skies, albeit with sparse crowds many attributed to war jitters and the shift from a Sunday to a Wednesday opening.

For details on these developments and more, see AVweb’s opening day Sun ‘n Fun coverage.
