ICAS Says Record Year Likely from AVwebFlash Current Issue
With only two months remaining in the 2009 North American air show season -- as defined by the International Council of Air Shows, (ICAS) -- the 2009 season, "will see record attendance," according to ICAS. That means ICAS believes attendance figures for 2009 will be greater than any prior year. The organization projects figures show that 2009 attendance in the United States will be 20 percent higher than 2008, which itself saw a jump of roughly 13 percent over the previous year. For this year, ICAS president, John Cudahy says, "we’ve yet to hear from even a single air show with lower attendance than they had expected" and "most are reporting record attendance." ICAS is attributing the surge in part to the economic downturn forcing people to embrace the concept of the "staycation." Pursuing their own cause, ICAS notes also that attendance is down as much as 13% at certain popular amusement parks and that America's pastime, Major League Baseball. has seen a 6% drop-off in attendance. ICAS is projecting that by mid-November, some 16 million people will have attended more than 400 air shows in the U.S..

Pylon Chasers A KNPB High-Definition Special from http://www.knpb.org/
Every Fall, a lifetime's worth of exhilarating stories develop rapidly as man and machine race the skies over the Nevada desert. Large cylindrical cans on telephone poles some fifty feet in the air act as Pylons. Pilots maneuver their small aircraft around these pylons hoping to be the first to pass the home pylon and win the race. The motto of the Air Races says it all: “Fly Low, Go Fast, Turn Left.” KNPB's high definition documentary Pylon Chasers, takes a closer look at the pilots, the races, and the history behind this exhilarating sport.
