9:23am -The sun is up after an overcast day yesterday. Things are definitely happening here now and the media center has been very busy all morning. The biggest news to come out of Sun n Fun so far this morning is the big announcement by Polk County Public Schools that they received a $1.4 million grant from NASA to enhance Kathleen High School’s Central Florida Aerospace Academy, an aviation-oriented high school and career academy located on the Sun n Fun campus.

10:30am -There is a lot on tap today out here. The first airshow of the week will start at 3pm and will feature the Aero Shell Team, among many others. There are also several lectures and FAA Forums throughout the day. For an entire list, check out Sun n Fun’s website.

1:10pm -The big “news” story so far this afternoon is the video that has surfaced on You Tube of the two pilots landing their experimental aircraft on Havendale Blvd. in Auburndale Sunday while on their way here to Sun n Fun. The Ledger did a story about it and you can see the video there.  All the talk has been whether or not it was set up by the pilots to get attention for their website that is on the top of the video. What do you think?

4:45pm - The first airshow of the week just wrapped up. Here are the photos from today.
