Airshow Dates & Info <- Please Read

[Liza]

Hi All!

We will be using a new system for the airshows which compliments the new Fence Check 2.0 launch and it will have some interesting new features. If you have information about upcoming shows, please send it to me at "liza @ fencecheck . com"

Feel free to continue to post in the threads already started.

Thanks!

Thanks again

Liza, Roger,

You have done a great job in putting the new air show threads together, and I am looking forward to some great air shows in 2008.  I was wondering though how efficient it really may be to have these threads created for such a huge number of air shows, some of which will probably generate very little interest or comment over the year.

I suppose that it does prevent some of the chaos that can result from differnet people trying to start an air show thread.  But at this point it just seems overwhelming to sign in to the forum and see all these often obscure air shows with a "thread" created.

Just some thoughts.

Thanks for making these forums available to us.

Jim,

I can see how looking at the Airshow Preview section here in the forums one can get a little overwhelmed.  But there is a better way of weeding through the shows and finding the ones you might be interested in, and that is the Airshow Database.  There you can fnd the shows by location or team attending and we'll add a date function soon as well.

Cheers,
Roger

Hello All,

As many can see, some of the '09 shows have been added. Thought it would be better to start now instead of waiting until after the jet team schedules are released. Having them added over an extended period doesn't seem as overwhelming as it was done last year.

Using the airshow calendar or the database search feature (airshows tab at the top and the airshow database) may make shows of interest easier to find. Also, clicking on the "Airshow Database Page with Map" link in the first post of each show thread will give you a map of the show grounds via Google Maps. One can zoom in for a closer look.

More and more shows/aerial events will be added over the next month. If any of you know of an event not posted (or posted yet), please let me know. Send a PM or email (click on the envelope under my avatar) with the info.

Here's to a safe and memorable '09 Season...

Thanks!

Hey Liza,
Awesome job once again!  I've been pointing more and more performers to your listings and calendar - we don't know how you do it, but we're sure glad you do.

Jenny sent me here!
Looks like a nice place to visit on my daily search for airshow information. Hope to meet many of you in 2009, and at ICAS next week.

Hi Walt. Welcome. I'll be sure to find you and Jenny at some point next week. As the airshows announce dates and performers put out their own schedules, you'll see updates happening here as well. We try to have as accurate info as possible for the shows.

Liza, you're off to a great start on another superb airshow listing.    Thank you.
I'm already looking forward to studying the info and making my 2009 selections.

Agreed Steve, Liza's the best.

Liza,   Can't wait for your db to get started for '09.   You do it the best, and the updates/additions, etc that you get done on a timely basis, and correctly are awesome!!!!!!   FC has a Gem in you!

Greetings All,

As we did last year, the adding of next year's shows has begun. More will be added in the next few months as they're confirmed. Once performers begin to update their schedules, the database will be updated on a regular basis in an attempt to keep FC as current and up-to-date as possible. Feel free to PM or email me information about events which may have been inadvertently overlooked.

Please note, the North American jet team schedules are due to be released at ICAS on Dec 7th in Las Vegas.

As we know, the jet team schedules are out. I'm still in Vegas at the ICAS Convention so as time allows, I'll be adding shows in between other events. Will hit it hard for adding shows probably on Wednesday.

Good work!
