Due to record rainfall over the last 6 months, SUN ‘n FUN has made a decision to cancel the Seabird Splash-In that has been held annually on Lake Agnes at Fantasy of Flight during the SUN ‘n FUN International Fly-In & Expo being held later this month. The Lake Agnes water level is more than 2 feet above normal, which creates numerous hazards to seaplane operations in the form of hidden obstructions and, very shallow and long approaches to land access. During an airshow in Tuscaloosa, Alabama last weekend by Team AeroDymamix, a midair collision between an RV-6 and an RV-8 gave everybody a scare. Normally when there is a mid-air collision that involves one of the aircraft losing part of its prop, the outcome is much worse. But when such an incident occurred last Sunday during the airshow both airplanes managed to land safely, and there were no injuries.
