Airspeed - Airshow Safety: The View from ICAS

In the wake of a difficult weekend (and, indeed, a difficult season) for the airshow community, I asked John Cudahy to sit down for a few minutes to talk about airshow safety.

 

John has been the president of the International Council of Air Shows, Inc. (“ICAS”) since 1997.  I’ve heard him speak at the annual convention in Las Vegas for the past two years and I’m returning to Las Vegas again this December.

John is one of those people who has always been on my list of people to bring onto the show at some appropriate time.  I had thoughts of bringing him on as a part of the upcoming episode encapsulating my experience attending ICAS’s Airshows 101 class at the last convention.  But the events of the summer conspired to make it more important to bring John onto the show now to talk about the ICAS safety culture.
