Don't be one of them. A cautionary for VFR pilots is in order, however, and it concerns spring in the Panhandle. The best way to avoid getting trapped on the wrong side of that meteorological barrier is to slide your departure date one way or the other, if you have the flexibility. Better to detour to a weak spot than to sit down on the edge of the system, and have it keep you trapped until time to turn for home again. Otherwise, usually the weather is warm, dry and pleasant at least five of the seven days, often six, sometimes seven.
Food is plentiful on the field, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
A couple of general stores on the grounds provide plenty of staples, from bread and meat, to drinks to charcoal and grills. A ride off the show grounds will save you money, and there is a shuttle service into town and to the Lake Louise seaplane base. Also plentiful off-field are a variety of restaurants stretched along Florida Boulevard between Interstate 4 up north to beyond Medulla Road, the main artery into the airshow. And if you plan to stay in a hotel, good luck and Godspeed. Rooms are generally scarce within 15 miles of LAL by now and will remain so until Wednesday, when many rooms in Lakeland open up as the early birds depart.
