January Luncheon Meeting (Goleta) 1/8/20

Producing a World-Class Air Show

The logistics of producing air shows require a combination of art and science. Our speaker is the president of The Air Show Network, which organizes over 60 air shows per year. He will share details about how they produce one of the largest air shows in the country, the San Francisco Fleet Air Show. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how they integrate the Blue Angels, other military and civilian acts, the FAA, Coast Guard, First Responders, FBI, and NCIS to provide a world-class show for over 1 million people in the Bay Area."
