The Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo is already underway, but Blue Angels fans will have to wait until Thursday before catching a glimpse of the U.S. Navy flight demonstration team in action.
The six-day Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo kicked off on Tuesday, April Fools’ Day, with more than a dozen military and civilian demo teams taking to the sky.
