| Jay,
I like to plan my arrival for 0700 EST, or the exact moment that the airport opens. I stayed overnight just north of Atlanta and departed at 0400 EST to make Lakeland at 0700 EST. It was beautiful flying over Atlanta at that time in the morning. At both Oshkosh and Lakeland, these have been my best arrivals. Around 1000 EST till noon is the worst time to arrive. The airports are closed in the afternoon for the air show.
Also don't forget that the airport is closed, during the air show, during the night. I think that it closes at about 2000 EST. I couldn't leave one evening when I wanted to.
Read up on the show at:

I’m planning my first trip to Sun and Fun and have a question for you SnF veterans. I’m starting from the Pacfic Northwest so plan on taking a day and a half to get there rather than arriving after dark. The event starts on Tuesday, April 13th. Would it be better to leave a day early and arrive mid-day on the 12th, or is an arrival during the show on the 13th OK? Thanks, Jay Phillips Legacy N92SX
