The first in a five part series this week is also the first half of a forthright conversation with International Council of AirShows President, John Cudahy, --- which will be followed by a series of short interviews, in three parts, in which members of the airshow community answered the same three questions -- concerning safety, value and the ability of the airshow industry to keep up with the times.
Conceived as part of the larger ICAS initiative to change the culture of air show safety, the product of this effort is intended to document processes and procedures that our industry can use to manage risk, report incidents and accidents, participate more actively in accident investigations, identify trends, communicate the results of these investigations to members, and reduce the number of accidents in the air show community.Full Story and Video

15 Wing Moose Jaw was attacked by a squadron of CF-18s on Thursday.
The CF-18 squadron — on transit from Bagotville, Que., to Cold Lake, Alta. — was participating in an airfield mock attack, which was planned as a motivational exercise for the student pilots presently going through the NATO Flying Training in Canada program (NFTC).
The CF-18s simulated disabling the wing’s fuel supply, the runways and the control tower in four circuits around the 15 Wing airfield. Many of the students and personnel from the wing watched as the aircraft flew attack patterns around the airfield.
“In the air everything is serious, even during training missions,” said Maj. Paul Doyle who flew with the squadron.Full Story...

Write Comment• Air Force, military photographers recognized with special exhibit at the museum
DAYTON, Ohio -- Several Air Force photographers recently found themselves in an unfamiliar position: in front of the cameras. During an exhibit opening for "On the Other Side of the Lens...Military Photographers in Action" at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, photographers whose work is featured in the exhibit were invited as special guests to attend the opening.
"This is strange," said Master Sgt. Jim Varhegyi, one of five Air Force photographers in attendance. "We're usually the ones taking photos and asking the questions."
The exhibit is now open to the public and features 56 photos depicting the talent of Air Force and Joint Operations photojournalists, with significant contributions provided by Air Force News. In addition to the photos, a multimedia presentation and graphic banners accompany the exhibit. More than 30 photographers are represented.Full Story...
