We might think of airshows as classic summertime attractions, but they really get going in early spring, and this year’s calendar of aerial demonstrations runneth over with new events and many longstanding perennial shows that have missed a year or two because of pandemic restrictions.
When shows take place at airports, rather than on military bases or over beaches and harbors, it is usually easy for private pilots to fly in for the event. Indeed, part of the fun for the audience often comes from watching general aviation aircraft arriving and departing during breaks in the action. Flying in can make you feel more like a participant than a spectator.
