An amazing time was had by all at the Saitek booth at Sun ‘n Fun. An estimated 200,00+ attendees came out to Lakeland for the show and many of them came through Hangar Bravo and got hands-on with the forthcoming X-55 Rhino H.O.T.A.S. and the Cessna Cockpit.<\/p>\n

Saturday was our busiest day by far as popular YouTube flight simmer\u00a0Frooglesim<\/a>\u00a0stopped by to show off his pilot skills in DCS and Prepar3d. A bunch of his fans showed up to hang out with him and walk the whole Sun ‘n Fun show.<\/p>\n

\"10174831_530638740382398_2668081537467609333_n\"<\/a>The Orlando-based Vision of Flight<\/a> showed up en masse as well. Saitek is sponsoring the non-profit organization as they spread the good word of aviation and flight sim to kids everywhere through campus visits and STEM events. We’ll have more on them in a later post!<\/p>\n
