Emma Crawford of ANN will help you start one of the biggest days of the week in today’s Morning Brief. Wednesday is one of only two days of Sun ‘n Fun to have a full slate of performances for day and night, with a packed roster of air show performers after the sun goes down.
Before the rundown, we had a chance to chat with Jamail Larkins of AviationStart, a student support system that helps connect future aviators with scholarships, grants, and aviation support. AviationStart helps tap into the $29 million in financial assistance spread throughout the industry, collecting them into one resource to search, track, and apply. Find more at www.aviationstart.org.
Afterwards, we got a chance to speak with author and aviator Linda Sollars about her high-wing TSI. She got in on the ground floor of owning a high-wing Sling TSI, touching base with the manufacturer at just the right time. Since completing her aircraft at their South African factory she’s traveled the world to come back home and met a whole lot of people along the way. She has some interesting points about ergonomics after spending so much time in the saddle, so tune in and see what you can learn from a real long-haul sling pilot.

Weather today is hot, sunny, and tempered by 12 to 29 mph winds. Expect a high of 92º, which should be the norm through the rest of the week. Small chances of thunderstorms have been cited out by some weather wizards, but the opinion isn’t unanimous so there’s a good chance of great airshow weather throughout the day.
Today’s broadcast is brought to you by King Schools, currently offering a hefty 25% discount throughout the show when you use coupon code “ANN25”.
Special thanks to our friends at Hartzell Propeller, Piper Aircraft, Sensenich, and The Affordable Flying Expo for starting every day at Sun ‘n Fun the right way.
