Air Show Production & Consulting
The whole show, or the part of it you need covered
An air show is a live production built around an active runway. Showboss Productions produces civilian air shows for airports, cities and community organizations. We also join an existing show team to run one part of it: the performers, the military participation, or the flying day itself.
Three ways to bring us in
Full Air Show Production
We take your show from a date on the calendar to the last aircraft home. The plan, the budget, the performer lineup, the vendors and show day are ours to run. Your airport, city or board stays the host.
Performer & Military Coordination
One call covers every act on your schedule. We line up the civilian performers and handle what each one needs on the ground. For military demonstration teams, parachute teams and ceremonial units, we prepare and manage the request, then coordinate each approved unit on site. Which units take part is decided by the Department of Defense, never by us.

Air Boss & Ground Operations
The flying day, run from the first briefing to the last landing. We supply the air boss who directs the aircraft and the ground operations crew that runs the ramp and keeps the schedule.
Take one, or all three. Each works alongside the committee, the airport and the vendors you already have.
Our founder is a pilot with twenty years in live event and air show production, so your show is planned by someone who has worked both sides of the crowd line.

What organizers ask first
Can we hire you for one part of the show?
Yes. Performer and military coordination is available on its own, and so is air boss and ground operations. Full production covers both.
What kinds of air shows do you work with?
Civilian shows in the United States and abroad, hosted by airports, cities, counties, chambers of commerce and community organizations.
Can you bring a military jet team to our show?
Nobody can promise one. That choice belongs to the Department of Defense. Our part is the request: we build it, track it through approval and look after the team on site if it's approved.
When should we call you?
When the show has a date. Headline military teams plan years out, and popular civilian acts fill their seasons early.
What does it cost?
It depends on the show and how much of it we're running. Every job is quoted as its own proposal.
Have a date and an airfield?
Send us both and we'll take it from there.
