Tuesday, December 9th 2014 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Miranda 1-2

As military participation becomes less available and less reliable, air show event organizers have been forced to reconsider preconceptions about what is and what is not appropriate entertainment at an air show. In this fast-paced, thought provoking IGNITE session, you and your air show colleagues will spend sixty minutes discussing tactics and ideas for expanding the definition of "entertainment" in the air show environment, including 1) staging mock battles with World War II assets; 2) UAVs and large-scale model rocket launches; 3) fireworks and pyro; and 4) carnival/midway rides.
