Preflight Checklist:

Welcome to a special episode of the Stuck Mic AvCast. Today we are reporting live from Sun N Fun 2018. The crew of the Stuck Mic AvCast volunteer every year at Sun N Fun Radio. During the event we are able to speak with some of our friends and exhibitors and wanted to share those conversations with you.

The first day was fun despite a large line of thunderstorms and rain all most of the day. They decided to cancel the air show but I think we will have great week of weather. Good thing because Carl guaranteed there would be an air show tomorrow.

We hope you enjoy the daily show summary and interviews from the crew at Stuck Mic AvCast. Remember to follow us and on social media by searching for #StuckMicSelfie,   #SNF18, and  #SNFRadio .
