With the many posts about different cties that Wixers are going to visit and then invaribly ask what is there to do aviation wise when they visit .I thought a forum just to list up coming air shows and aviation events might be helpful to many.

Is this a new one? I'm originally from Bloomfield, Iowa, just north of Kirksville on Hwy 63. Do they have a website?

For aviation events in general, I usually post under the Events/Gathering section of this forum. If you're looking for specific information on airshows, you can't go too wrong checking over at http://www.airshowbuzz.com.

One can do better with the Fence Check Airshow Database. (Yes, I'm biased since I maintain it.)

Sample - Kirksville Regional Air Festival

Liza,

How's the pilot / operator presence on that forum? That's one thing I like about ASB.

The site is geared more toward photography so we have a broad mix.

If you're looking for information about airshows (or aerial events), I truly believe it's one of the most comprehensive databases for North America. The database is updated several times per week as performer schedules become available, a show cancels, etc. Having the map for each location along with show website (if available), known attendees (with links to their sites), and a weather link really does help in planning.

If you're looking for just chit chat and speculation as to what may occur concerning airshows, then ASB is the better choice.
