It's hard to believe we've been working together for five years already. Every year you somehow make the process easier than the last. From the first planning call to the final flyover, you and your team are incredibly organized, responsive, and just plain easy to work with. We always know we're in good hands, which lets us focus on creating a great experience for our guests. 

What began as a unique Fourth of July activation has grown into one of Mission Pacific Beach Resort's signature annual traditions. Our hotel guests look forward to it every year, and it has evolved into a citywide celebration that draws both visitors and the local community. We truly value our partnership and look forward to expanding the event and creating many more memorable experiences together.

We worked with Chris ("Oz") and Showboss Productions for the City's 250th Independence Day Celebration and it was incredible. Oz and team are extremely professional and when you're dealing with multiple vendors to execute a very special, perfectly timed event, it's nice to know you don't have to worry about Oz coming through at the exact time it was needed, (literally).

Really appreciated your professionalism and keen eye to detail throughout the process. You were easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any changes that we needed. — Tamika Bisarra, Experiential Supply Co.

You were great to work with! Everything went so smoothly, and everyone loved the plane we had for the photo op. Thank you for being such a huge help and for making the entire process so easy. — Mindy Alvarado, Experiential Supply Co.

Highly recommend Showboss Productions. They conducted a flyover and aerial demonstration for our local community/veteran event that had almost 5k in attendance and over 2.5k viewing via online broadcast. Professional staff and talented aircrews. They made our event spectacular and an evening to remember.

"Wow—what an incredible performance! Showboss truly made the celebration unforgettable, and it was such an honor to work with your team. I want to share how grateful we are that you were such an important part of the event. I heard from so many guests that they were blown away, and that it set the tone for the "why" we were there to raise funds. Thank you so much for your partnership."

I wanted to let you know how FANTASTIC the fly-over was at our 4S Ranch Little League Closing Ceremony! Everyone was so surprised and impressed - I have received SO many compliments. It made the whole day feel so incredibly special and we were so honored and appreciative of the additional planes. Thank you for being so easy to work with and helping us end our season on a high note!

"We worked with Showboss Productions to plan and execute two flyovers as part of the Military Review at the Army and Navy Academy (Carlsbad, CA) for Veterans Day, November 11, 2022. Four vintage aircraft performed. The flyovers were perfectly timed with the playing of the National Anthem and Taps. The second flyover included the missing man formation that had a huge positive impact on the attendees. We definitely plan on working with Showboss Productions for Veterans Day"

“The fine folks at Showboss performed a flyover at my father's funeral at Miramar Cemetery. Beautiful tight formation, and missing man formation on second pass. Chris organized with the cemetery to have the flyover occur at precisely the right moment during the funeral. Very reasonably priced. Thank you so much.”

"The WWII airplane flyover with the missing man formation in honor of my father’s passing was outstanding. The professionalism and attention to detail were reassuring to me as I attended to the myriad details required to hold a Memorial Service for my father at Miramar National Cemetery. I highly recommend them for anyone who wants to host an unforgettable event."

"Chris and his team of 4 did a flyover for my Grandpa’s funeral at Riverside National Cemetery and let me tell you, if there ever is such thing as a great funeral my Grandpa’s was it because of this flyover! Chris responded to all of my emails very quickly, he was professional and overall great to work with. I have nothing at all bad to say about Chris and his team. Truly, he made a sad day so very special and amazing! Thank you Chris."

“I have been working with Christopher at Showboss Productions for a small event and he has proven to be a valuable asset for this process. He seems to have an extensive list of contacts and every time I bring up an idea for my event, he knows somebody that can do it. Christopher maintains constant communication and responds to all of my messages in a timely manner. He delivers on his promises and if he doesn't think something will work, he will let you know and provide other solutions. Christopher is pro-active and extremely passionate about his work. Christopher also works on large events and aircraft flyovers. I didn't realize how easy it is to hire a group of trained formation pilots to do a flyover until I came across Showboss Productions. I highly recommend using Showboss Productions for your next event or coordinating a flyover for ANY occasion.”

"Great job with the flyover. Best one we have had for our annual event to date. The last pass was directly over head and made for a great show. Lots of great comments and applause from all the veterans and other players participating in the tournament. Please share a big thank you with all the members of your team."

“March 4th my father passed away. As a retired Navy Master Chief in Journalism and PAO of the Midway Museum he met many people over the decades. One, of which, was the founder of Showboss Productions, Christopher "Oz" Van Stelle. Seven years ago my father got to fly over San Diego in a 1943 T-6 Texan and was absolutely thrilled when he got to take over in flight. Although it was June, he was celebrating his 75th birthday from January 18th. He used our family picture in front of that plane on his Facebook home page and it's still there. I got in contact with Oz about 2 weeks prior to my father's Celebration of Life onboard the Midway Museum to have a Missing Man Formation done. He delivered and then some. He had very kind words to say about his encounters with my father over the years and was more than honored to be able to provide this display of remembrance for him. Our family and friends, in person and online, enjoyed that final touch and would reach out again if so desired to utilize any of Showboss Productions' many offerings. Thank you, again, Oz, we really appreciate what you do! ”

Showboss Productions operates with a high level of professionalism across every stage of an event. Communication is consistent and clear, organization is strong, and timelines are respected.
