There is a vibrant and healthy air show community on the other side of the Atlantic. In many ways, it looks very similar to the air show business here in the U.S. In many other ways, they are as different as night and day. In this session, we'll take a look at the similarities and the differences. We'll discuss differences in sponsorship, regulations, entertainment content, crowd sizes, the performer community and military involvement, all with the goal of better understanding the relative strengths and weaknesses of the North American air show business.
