About this episode
SHOW CENTER The Airshow Podcast - The 2025 airshow season is in the books—and what a ride it’s been. The U.S. Government Shutdown threw a wet blanket over the circuit, grounding military participation and leaving producers scrambling. But, as always, this industry found a way. In this episode, we look back at how shows turned setbacks into standouts. From creative new programming and local partnerships to inventive ways of keeping fans engaged, airshows across the country proved that when the government can’t show up, the rest of us still do. We’ll also share some fresh ideas to help insulate the industry next time politics gets in the way—because resilience isn’t just a buzzword in airshows; it’s a way of life. And speaking of what’s next—the ICAS Annual Convention in Las Vegas is just weeks away. We’ll be recording onsite, just outside the main hall, with open mics and a few extra chairs. Swing by, say hello, and join the conversation. Another season in the books. Another reminder that no matter the challenge, this community always finds a way to fly. See you in Vegas!
