SUN ’n FUN 2026 Welcomes Diversified Aviation to Growing Lineup

Lakeland, FL (February 24, 2026) – Every spring, the aviation world converges on Lakeland for the SUN ’n FUN Aerospace Expo—an event many consider the official kickoff to the aviation season. From vintage warbirds to cutting-edge jets, aerobatic performers to homebuilt masterpieces, Sun ’n Fun is where innovation, heritage, and community meet on one flightline. In 2026, that spirit of forward momentum extends beyond the runway. Diversified Aviation has announced it will join this year’s growing exhibitor lineup, bringing with it a focus on the infrastructure that keeps aviation thriving long after the airshow ends.

In 2026, that spirit of forward momentum extends beyond the runway. Diversified Aviation has announced it will join this year’s growing exhibitor lineup, bringing with it a focus on the infrastructure that keeps aviation thriving long after the airshow ends.

Diversified Aviation, a division of Diversified Companies, specializes in aviation-focused development, infrastructure, and strategic project execution within the general and business aviation sectors. The company partners with airports, municipalities, and private stakeholders to deliver aviation facilities designed for long-term operational growth and increasing tenant demand.

In other words, while spectators look skyward, Diversified Aviation is focused on what supports it all on the ground.

“SUN ’n FUN gives us a chance to connect with industry leaders and share the real-world projects we’re delivering,” said Cary Goldberg, President of Diversified Aviation. “From 46 new hangars at Vero Beach to our upcoming Sanford Airport development, we’re focused on building aviation infrastructure that meets growing demand.”

That demand continues to accelerate nationwide. As airports face pressure to expand capacity and modernize facilities, thoughtful infrastructure planning has become just as critical as aircraft innovation. Diversified Aviation’s projects aim to strengthen aviation ecosystems by creating facilities that are functional, scalable, and aligned with future growth.

Attendees can meet the Diversified Aviation team in Indoor Hangar C, Booth C-015, where company representatives will share current project insights and discuss upcoming development initiatives.

Of course, SUN ’n FUN remains firmly rooted in its airshow tradition. The 2026 lineup includes the legendary F-4 Phantom I, a Cold War icon certain to draw attention on the ramp and in the sky. Visitors can also look forward to performances by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, the F-22 Raptor Demo Team, the C-17 Globemaster III Demo Team, Commemorative Air Force aircraft, and a steadily expanding roster of performers and exhibitors.

From high-speed demonstrations to long-term development strategy, SUN ’n FUN 2026 reflects the full spectrum of aviation—its heritage, its performance, and its future.
