The Russian Yak, “Night Witch,” attracted a lot of attention. The Hawker Fury was designed as a smaller and lighter version of the Hawker Tempest. The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, developed from the P-36, was America’s foremost fighter in service when WWII began. The City of Lakeland and the Lakeland Linder Regional Airport have hosted the Sun ‘n Fun Fly-In for over 31 years. Ted Contri owns the P-51, “Sizzlin’ Liz.” “Glacier Girl,” a World War II P-38, was recovered from under 268 feet of ice from the Greenland icecap and restored to flying condition.
