Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo?

SUN 'n FUN is a major aviation expo and airshow held each spring at Lakeland Linder International Airport in Lakeland, Florida. It opens the North American airshow season, draws more than 200,000 visitors, and features warbirds, aerobatics, exhibitors, and the official licensed merchandise sold here at Pilot Mall.

When and where is SUN 'n FUN 2026?

SUN 'n FUN 2026 runs April 14 through 19, 2026, at Lakeland Linder International Airport in Lakeland, Florida. The expo takes place each spring and marks the start of the North American airshow season, so the dated-year merchandise built around it is released in the weeks leading up to the event.

Where can I buy official SUN 'n FUN merchandise?

You can buy official SUN 'n FUN merchandise here at Pilot Mall, an official SUN 'n FUN licensee. Every t-shirt, cap, jacket, mug, tumbler, keychain, and patch in this collection is authentic licensed merchandise with the official logo, not generic aviation goods with the name attached.

Do SUN 'n FUN designs sell out, and are past-year shirts still available?

Each expo gets its own dated-year designs, and past-year tees and souvenirs sell through and rarely return, so collectors treat every annual release as limited. We stock a mix of the current-year lineup and selected past-year pieces while they last, so availability changes through the season.

What should I wear to SUN 'n FUN?

SUN 'n FUN runs during warm Florida spring weather, so plan for heat and sun: a breathable event t-shirt, an embroidered cap for shade, closed-toe shoes for walking the flight line, sunscreen, and plenty of water. A light crewneck or jacket helps with cool mornings. See our travel-guide articles for full packing tips.

Are SUN 'n FUN embroidered patches iron-on?

Yes. The SUN 'n FUN embroidered patches in this collection are made for iron-on application, so you can attach them to a flight jacket, flight bag, or hat at home. Year-stamped patches and lapel pins are popular collector pieces that mark the specific expo you attended.
