Airspeed has revised its airshow coverage schedule for 2009. Look for Stephen Force strolling the grounds, MP3 recorder and camera in hand and wild look in his eyes at these premier US airshows.
Indianapolis Air Show – 4-7 June (with CAP squadron event appearance Thursday 4 June at Jonathon Byrd's - 100 Byrd Way, Exit 99 off I-65, Greenwood, Indiana 46142 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.)
Battle Creek Field of Flight Airshow and Balloon Festival – 2-5 July
Thunder Over Michigan 18-19 July 2009 (with Cole and Ella Force)
AirVenture Oshkosh - 30 July - 1 August (with Cole Force, including Podapalooza)
Selfridge ANGB Air Show – 22-23 August 2009 (Volunteering with CAP)
Note that dates are those that Airspeed plans to cover the shows and not necessarily the dates of the shows. Check the show websites for more information.
As ever, with a day job, clients depending on me, and two kids to wrangle, everything’s naturally subject to change, but this is a big part of Airspeed’s gathering of material for the show and a big part of the inspiration that drives both the show and the producer.
Get to your local airshow and take your kids! There’s no better way to ignite imaginations and stoke the fires of science, aviation, poetry, and song that to get your offspring a good snootfull of recently-combusted 100LL and JP-8.
If you make it to one of the above airshows, please keep your eyes out for Stephen Force and introduce yourself! We love meeting listeners!

Podcasters providing aviation event coverage is a great idea, Steve. I'd been thinking about that myself for a little while, and wondering if I could leverage that into a cool Christmas present - like a Marantz PMD660, or something similar. You'll be great at this and I can't wait for the show season to start so I can listen to your reports!
If I happen to be in Michigan (or make it to Oshkosh) next summer, I'll have to meet you in person. This is Chris of WION in Ionia. Just got back from flying with a friend in the Smokey Mountains.
