The annual Sun ’n Fun Fly-In and Expo wrapped up on April 7 and overcame a rainy start to once again attract hundreds of thousands of pilots and aviation enthusiasts, newsmakers, and of course many cool planes to Lakeland, Florida.

Fortunately, for those who missed part of or all of this year's event, Plane & Pilot was on hand reporting the news, sharing interesting stories, and taking photos. From Lee Lauderback hitting the 10,000-mile mark in his P-51 Mustang to Piper pulling the cover off its new trainer, there was no shortage of GA-related happenings. See below for a quick primer on Sun 'n Fun 2019.
