Last year marks the first time the event has been cancelled, as in previous years events would be rescheduled due to inclement weather and other circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the return of the event, new COVID-19 protocols have been put in place to avoid the spread of the pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to their COVID-19 policy, masks will be required in all indoor locations on the expo campus while they are strongly recommended in outdoors locations. Sanitization will also be increased throughout the event. These policies were tested in December at Sun \u2018n Fun\u2019s first holiday flying air show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people are interested in the event\u2019s return because it is one of America\u2019s largest air shows and features famous air squadrons like the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sun \u2018n Fun and its expo campus are also a part of an education initiative in Lakeland for Kathleen High School as part of the Central Florida Aerospace Academy (CFAA) program, allowing high school students to get firsthand experience in aeronautics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CFAA is part of a larger philanthropic initiative sponsored by Sun \u2018n Fun, the Aerospace Center for Excellence (ACE). The ACE program and its staff provide educational services like summer camps and outreach programs to students with an interest in aeronautics. According to Sun \u2018n Fun,&nbsp;ACE also helps with education support and provides scholarships to students in the field of aeronautics, spending $2 million annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tickets bought for last year\u2019s event can still be redeemed at this year\u2019s Sun \u2018n Fun expo.
