EAA Chapter 1178 supports Sun 'n Fun each year by organizing and administering the campground areas at the event. This is done totally by volunteers. If you're interested in volunteering to help out (there are some event perks) please leave a post or message and we'll get in touch with you.

Make plans for the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo April 6-11, 2027 in Lakeland, FL!

Like to come fly with us?

The Chapter is proud to announce it's support to the Plant City Airport's "Plane, Trains, and Automobiles" event on 1 February 2025.

If you know of a child between the ages of 8-17 that might be interested, their parent/guardian can register them by clicking on below. And if you don't want to fly, come on out anyway. There are cars, model airplanes and trains, displays and vendors of all types.

See you there!

EAA 117 Toys for Tots drive 2023 comes to a glorious end. Special thanks to folks at Atlas Aviation who let us put boxes at Peter O’Knight and Plant City Muny. Also a huge shoutout to EAA 108 and the wonderful folks at Manatee who always seem to carry the bulk of the donations. This year though we also received toys from Wimaumau and so thanks to them as well. The USMCR said “right on time!” Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah everyone!
