Airshowbuzz has flown west | When we launched ASB 5 years ago it quickly became the premier online community for the air show industry. During that time, we have met countless friends from around the world who share our passion for aviation. While it has been an amazing experience, we ultimately realize our true passion lies in our involvement with the live air show community and doing what we love most, flying. Because of this, we will be closing ASB effective immediately. Moving forward, we will put all our energy towards being part of the wonderful group of family and friends at the live events across the country. We want to thank all of you for being a part of this great experience and we look forward to seeing you at an air show very soon.

Dayton Air Show

Sometimes the event is more about the people you meet!

Roger and I flew out to the Dayton Air Show today and enjoyed a great show (thank you Jeff for flying us out to the show! We're not worthy!)

After the show we got to speak to Rob Reider and Danny Clisham, and quite a few of the photographers and gang from AirShowBuzz. Roger and I are on the far right. During the conversation, Rob and Danny were very humble about their winning the ICAS Sword of Excellence, stating that they felt many others have contributed much more to the air show community.

Some photos have already been posted on the AirShowBuzz thread for the Dayton Air Show and I'm sure we'll get Roger's photos up soon also.
