On December 6th through December 9th, the Paris Las Vegas Hotel
hosted over 1,500 air show professionals and enthusiasts to the
2009 International Council of Air Shows Convention.
Started in 1967, the annual ICAS Convention provides
professionals a community forum in which to network with industry
leaders, plan upcoming air shows, and offer continued support to
fellow performers and representatives.
This year's convention saw a two percent increase in attendance
over the 2008 convention despite the struggling economy; ICAS
President John Cudahy expressed optimism going into the 2010 air
show season stating that the attendance at all air shows increased
over 2009.
With the continued interest and enthusiasm across the country,
Aero-TV took the opportunity to ask some of ICAS' most renowned
performers in-depth questions about their experiences in the air
show industry.
As seen with the last question posed about what makes a perfect
loop, the fourth question in the six-part series can be quite
complex to answer: what makes a perfect roll? From a
barrel roll, to a snap roll, to a four-point roll, the aerobatic
technique is one that every air show professional has mastered at
some level.
Yet, even the idea of what a "perfect roll" represented
varied from expert to expert. Be it precision or safety,
entertainment value or practice approach, join Aero-TV as some of
the world’s most celebrated air show performers share their
insight on "the perfect roll."
