Leading Air Show Performers Give Their Perspective and Advice

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.

Despite the struggling economy, this year's convention saw a two percent increase in attendance over the 2008 convention; 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 heard in the Patty Wagstaff interview recently broadcast on Aero-TV, business marketing and sponsorship remains a significant component of the air show industry.

 In the second question of the six-part series, air show professionals give their perspectives on how the industry is evolving to meet those challenges and what other changes they have witnessed in recent years.
