Air Shows Review, as the name implies, is about reviews of air shows that our staff have attended, including local and international. In addition, it is also a review of aviation museums our staff have visited. Our mission is to give a concise, honest and independent review of these events and places. Then You, our readers can judge for yourselves to visit or not these air shows and museums, based upon our review and experiences and not on hype.

Air shows are not equal. Some are exceptionally good, some are very poorly organized even if they have a good selection of warbirds and other aircraft, and some are just plain terrible.

In our experience, a great show has to have people who are friendly and helpful, provide a good selection of static aircraft on display both military and civilian, a good selection of performers and be priced right. The flight path is also a contributing factor, as is the aircraft's altitude for viewing by the attendees. While the weather is beyond anyone's control, it can certainly make or break an air show.

The air show organizers need to pay a bit more attention how the shows are actually organized, as there are fewer and fewer people who are attending these show. The cost of travel is rising, gasoline as all know is expensive, thus traveling to air shows isn't cheap, especially if the air show event is out of town, state or province.

An air show is not just about the performers either, be they current military, civilian or historical warbirds from WWI, WWII, Korea or Vietnam era. A good air show has to be a good value for the money. Attendees, consider all the fees: admission, parking, programs, to food and drinks, and even near by hotel/motel costs.

Our Air Shows Review staff includes several professional photographers, who have attended the air shows and also have visited aviation related museums. Our reviews are based upon their feedback and experiences.
