AVIATION CALENDAR

 

Last Updated 16 Jan 06

 

THE FOLLOWING CALENDAR WILL LIST MAJOR SCHEDULED EVENTS - BOTH ONE-TIME AND PERIODIC - IN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY FOR AS FAR INTO THE FUTURE AS APPEARS REASONABLE OR POSSIBLE.

 

FOR DETAILED AIRSHOW DATA (including all Blue Angel, Thunderbird, and Snowbird appearances), SEE www.airshow.com/airshows.htm.  NOTE that 2006 schedule data is not yet published

 

The list will certainly fail to be exhaustive but will hopefully hit the high spots in the industry for quick reference.

 

Brief annotations, phone contacts and/or websites will be provided where available. 

 

For a tremendous number of additional events, see

v    www.aircargoworld.com/departments/events/calendar.htm

v    www.airshow.com/airshows.htm

v     www.aopa.org - and hit the "Calendar of Events" sidebar under the "Public Section" - an excellent search engine is featured (which you'll need - lots of events and detail here)

v    www.eaa.org - and hit the "Events Calendar" sidebar

v     www.flyingmag.com - and hit the "Calendar" sidebar

v     or the website of the particular organization of interest - TIACA, NBAA, ACI-NA, AAAE, etc. - for organizational as well as industry events.

 

As to format, it will be a sequential list.  There are a zillion free software calendar makers on the web and at least that many more that will do everything but change your oil for fees ranging from modest to utterly ridiculous.  Forget it; the cost and time ain’t worth it.

 

YOU ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT YOUR EVENT FOR CONSIDERATION BY OUR PANEL OF EXPERTS (ME)!  [calendar@whiteknuckleairways.com].
