Bill Scott, Brooksville, 1946 Cessna 120
Bill Scott, of Pilots Country in Brooksville, has been attending the expo for 48 years That s right, longer than the event has been named.
Scott said he remembers the first Sun n Fun, where a substantially smaller crowd gathered around hangars on the north side of the airport to look at planes. You start off coming to look at airplanes some, he said. Then you see people, get to know people and keep coming back to see how everyone is doing.
Scott flew in his 1946 Cessna 120 single-engine light aircraft that was mass-produced immediately following World War II. It s the first time the plane is being displayed after a 13-year restoration.
