TICO Air Show 2013 : Four consecutive days of covering the 2013 Tico Warbird Airshow at Space Coast Regional Airport in Titusville, Florida. The 36th annual air show was headlined this year by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, and their appearance marked the final public aerial demonstrations for the team until further notice due to sequestration.

920th Rescue Wing Search & Rescue Demo - 2012 Cocoa Beach Air Show : Covering the 2012 Cocoa Beach Air Show with the 920th Rescue Wing / Patrick Air Force Base. They performed a search-and-rescue demo for thousands on the beach over the course of the weekend, and invited me along to cover it from their perspective - both on the C-130 Hercules and HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter. It was an incredible first-hand insight into what they do everyday as combat-search-and-rescue airmen. They also served as "Guardians of the Astronauts", watching over them for decades as they thundered off their launch pads. Big thanks to Captain Cathleen Snow, the air crews, and Pararescuemen who allowed me to tag along for both Saturday and Sunday demos. 920th Rescue Wing: www.920rqw.afrc.af.mil/ 920th Rescue Wing on Facebook: www.facebook.com/920thRescueWing 920th Rescue Wing on Twitter: @920thRescueWing For Zero-G News and Aerospace Florida / www.ZeroGnews.com

Flying With The GEICO Skytypers, 2012 Ft Lauderdale Air Show : My day with the GEICO Skytypers, previewing the 2012 Ft Lauderdale Air Show, which is returning to south Florida for the first time in 5 years. The day was not just a preview of their routine during the show, but will also be a feature on the team to be published in the coming days. What a great group of folks to hang out with, thanks to Brenda Little and the Skytypers for inviting me to spend the day with them, it was an unforgettable experience, and the view over Ft Lauderdale beach wasn't bad either!

T-6 Flight / 2012 Sun N' Fun Preview : The 38th annual Sun N' Fun International Fly-In & Expo kicks off this Tuesday, and to preview the upcoming week-long festivities I was invited to fly with Bill Doty in an AT-6 SNJ warbird. Better known as a T-6 Texan, the aircraft was used as an advanced trainer by both the U.S. Army Air Forces and the U.S. Navy through the 1950's, playing a crucial role in training pilots for the dangerous missions they would be ordered to carry out through WWII. Several variants of the T-6 have been used in combat by other countries around the world. Sun N' Fun is the first major international aviation event of the year in America, and for the next week Sun N' Fun's Lakeland Linder Regional Airport will be the busiest airport in the world, tracking over 40,000 aircraft movements and welcoming an estimated 175,000 visitors from more than 80 countries.
