Air Show Operations Primer Friday, January 29th

Back for another year of training the Air Show Operations Primer is a great resource for shows to develop volunteers who are ready to take a deeper dive into the operations and planning of an air show.

What did the attendees think of the training?

Very detailed information and the speakers were approachable.

I appreciated the extensive and explicit marketing discussions
