A Really Good Show from Air Facts Online Column | Most of you never heard of The Reading Show. It was, though, a measure of general aviation that clearly separated post WW-II general aviation into two eras, pre-1980 and from that year to the present. The contrast is amazing. The activity, sponsored by Reading Aviation Service at Reading, Pennsylvania, started in 1950. It was originally a one-day affair billed as an operations and maintenance clinic.
