Official SUN 'n FUN Merch: Apparel & Souvenirs

Official SUN 'n FUN merch: apparel to wear and souvenirs to collect

SUN 'n FUN is the Aerospace Expo at Lakeland Linder International Airport in Florida that opens the North American airshow season each spring. Pilot Mall is an official SUN 'n FUN licensee, so everything in this collection is authentic licensed merchandise bearing the official logo and event branding, not generic aviation goods with the name attached. That distinction matters, because the licensing is what makes a piece a genuine commemorative of the expo rather than an aftermarket lookalike. Most shoppers come for one of two reasons, so this guide is built that way: apparel you wear, from current-year t-shirts and crewnecks to embroidered caps and the Quilted Boston Flight Jacket, and souvenirs you collect, including commemorative mugs, tumblers, koozies, and the latest lapel pin. Use the comparison table to see the lineup at a glance, then read the sections below to match each piece to how you plan to use it.

Apparel you wear

Dated-year t-shirts and crewnecks

The heart of the apparel lineup is the dated-year tee, a fresh design released around each expo. The latest options include the Swamp Squadron 2026 T-Shirt, the Lakeland Legends '26 T-Shirt, and the camo Stealth & Stripes F-22 Raptor Tee, plus the Aviation Season Opener Women's Crewneck for a warmer layer. Family shoppers can add the youth Snoopy Kids T-Shirt. See the wider lineup in aviation t-shirts and broader pilot apparel.

Caps and outerwear

Embroidered event headwear is the easiest add-on for a hot Florida flight line. The Baby Blue Mesh Back Ball Cap and the White/Navy Five-Panel Trucker Cap shade your eyes while you watch the airshow, and the Quilted Boston Flight Jacket is a premium layered keepsake for cool mornings. Compare more options in aviator caps and pilot jackets.

Souvenirs you collect

Mugs, tumblers, and koozies

Drinkware and small keepsakes are the everyday way to carry the expo home. The anniversary SUN 'n FUN Tervis Tumbler sits on a desk or in a flight kitchen long after the event, while the current 2026 Koozie is a quick grab that makes an easy gift. Find companion pieces in aviation home decor.

Patches and pins

Year-stamped pins and embroidered patches are the classic collector items, marking a specific expo so a jacket or flight bag tells the story of the years you attended. The current Official 2026 Commemorative Lapel Pin is the latest piece to add to a running set. Because each release carries the year, collectors often pick up the current pin or patch every spring, and you can browse more in aviation pins, patches and keychains.

How to choose your SUN 'n FUN merch

• Decide wear it or collect it. If you want something to put on for the flight line, start with a dated-year tee or a cap; if you want a keepsake, reach for a mug, tumbler, koozie, or pin.
• Match the year to your story. Buy the current 2026 designs to wear this season, or pick a piece that commemorates the specific expo you attended.
• Shop the family. Pair an adult tee with the youth Snoopy Kids T-Shirt for a matched look, and add the women's crewneck for a warmer layer.
• Buy for a pilot. Commemorative mugs, koozies, and pins make easy gifts; see more ideas in pilot gifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo?

SUN 'n FUN is a major aviation expo and airshow held each spring at Lakeland Linder International Airport in Lakeland, Florida. It opens the North American airshow season, draws more than 200,000 visitors, and features warbirds, aerobatics, exhibitors, and the official licensed merchandise sold here at Pilot Mall.

When and where is SUN 'n FUN 2026?

SUN 'n FUN 2026 runs April 14 through 19, 2026, at Lakeland Linder International Airport in Lakeland, Florida. The expo takes place each spring and marks the start of the North American airshow season, so the dated-year merchandise built around it is released in the weeks leading up to the event.

Where can I buy official SUN 'n FUN merchandise?

You can buy official SUN 'n FUN merchandise here at Pilot Mall, an official SUN 'n FUN licensee. Every t-shirt, cap, jacket, mug, tumbler, keychain, and patch in this collection is authentic licensed merchandise with the official logo, not generic aviation goods with the name attached.

Do SUN 'n FUN designs sell out, and are past-year shirts still available?

Each expo gets its own dated-year designs, and past-year tees and souvenirs sell through and rarely return, so collectors treat every annual release as limited. We stock a mix of the current-year lineup and selected past-year pieces while they last, so availability changes through the season.

What should I wear to SUN 'n FUN?

SUN 'n FUN runs during warm Florida spring weather, so plan for heat and sun: a breathable event t-shirt, an embroidered cap for shade, closed-toe shoes for walking the flight line, sunscreen, and plenty of water. A light crewneck or jacket helps with cool mornings. See our travel-guide articles for full packing tips.

Are SUN 'n FUN embroidered patches iron-on?

Yes. The SUN 'n FUN embroidered patches in this collection are made for iron-on application, so you can attach them to a flight jacket, flight bag, or hat at home. Year-stamped patches and lapel pins are popular collector pieces that mark the specific expo you attended.
