The Show Center podcast, which features professional air show announcers Matt Jolley, Ric Peterson, and Rob Reider, has teamed up with LiveAirShowTV to produce a streaming air show fundraiser, the “Socially D I S T A N T Air Show,” to help the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS) Foundation aid members in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The one-of-a-kind, three-day event will air on the LiveAirShowTV Facebook and YouTube channels live from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, April 21, Wednesday, April 22, and Thursday, April 23.
Free to all viewers, each broadcast will feature live content mixed with recorded submissions from civilian and military performers across the world.
All proceeds from the fundraiser will be used by the ICAS Foundation to help air show professionals who have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, according to organizers.
Multiple civilian and military performers have already confirmed their participation in the online “Socially D I S T A N T Air Show,” including the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, Mike Wiskus, Patty Wagstaff, Sean Tucker, the Aeroshell Aerobatic Team, the Belgian Air Force F-16 solo display, Michael Goulian, Rob Holland, the Patrouille Suisse, Adam Baker, the Czech Air Force’s Grippen jet fighter solo display, Bill Stein, the SHOCKWAVE jet truck, the Patrouille de France, and many more.
