The International Council of Air Shows Foundation's
AIR SHOW HALL
of FAME was created in 1995 to honor those who have made a
significant contribution to the air show industry. Recognizing
the industry's top performers is one of the clearest goals and
purposes of the Foundation; there are so many unrecognized
heroes and legends from the business. But it's not just
about honoring a couple of people every year - it's also about
educating the people in our industry about their own past, and
educating the larger air show community of fans, sponsors,
potential fans and potential sponsors about the very long and
illustrious history of air shows.
