ICAS Fast Facts -- September 30, 2010

JOHNSON TO DELIVER KEYNOTE AT 2010 ICAS CONVENTION

 Congressman Sam Johnson, a former U.S.A.F. Thunderbird and POW during the Vietnam War, will get the 2010 ICAS Convention started when he delivers the keynote address on the morning of Monday, December 6 at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel.

 An Air Force fighter pilot who flew combat missions in both the Korean and Vietnam Wars, Johnson was shot down in April of 1966 while flying an F-4 Phantom on his 25th combat mission. He spent nearly seven years as a prisoner of war, more than 42 months of that time in solitary confinement. He is a former director of the Air Force’s Fighter Weapons School and served as Wing Commander of the 31st Tactical Fighter Wing at Homestead AFB before retiring from the Air Force as a colonel.

 Since 1991, Johnson has represented the Third District of Texas in the U.S. House of Representatives where he serves on the powerful Ways and Means Committee and is well known as a reliable advocate for the military and military service men and women.

 4TH QUARTER ADVERTISING DEADLINE EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 7TH

 The advertising deadline for the 4th quarter issue of Air Shows magazine has been extended to Thursday, October 8th. This is our final publication of the year and your last chance to have your marketing message seen before the ICAS convention in December. Don’t miss this important opportunity.

 OCTOBER 8 IS THE ICAS EXHIBITOR DVD ENTRY DEADLINE

 It’s been a few years since we offered it last, but pent-up demand and frequent requests suggest that the ICAS Exhibitor DVD may be the most popular, most effective and most cost-efficient tool ever offered to air show performers and support service providers to help them broadcast their organizations’ marketing message. Click here for details.

 HOST HOTEL LOWERS SLEEPING ROOM RATE TO $99

 To make your reservation within the ICAS block at this new and lower rate, click here or call 888-266-5687. Be sure to identify yourself with Group Code SPIC10B.

 Telephone solicitations from organizations purporting to represent ICAS or the convention host hotel are scams. Terms are more restrictive and include penalties that rooms in the ICAS block do not include. We strongly discourage all ICAS members from making reservations in response to telephone solicitations.
