Air Boss & Consulting

Air Boss and Consulting provides air boss services and aviation consulting for air shows in the United States. The company is built around one experienced air boss. It describes his career as a life devoted to service and to aviation.

An air boss controls the event environment at an air show. That includes airspace and other aviation activity, and it follows the briefed schedule, the waiver or certificate, and the federal regulations. The air boss has the main duty for air show operations on the active taxiways and runways, and in the air show demonstration area around them.

Performers speak well of the service. One review from an air show demonstration team says that the whole team knows it will work in a professional setting when this air boss is in charge. The team can then focus on formation flying and its maneuvers. The review adds that his show planning creates a safe performing area, with the right mix of performers and good airspace management. The company's air boss received an honorary Thunderbird award in 2016.

The company also offers consulting and training. It says it hires the best to support the best and takes serious inquiries only. People who want to hire the company are asked to fill out a form so that it can serve them better.

The company links to a related business that offers aviation planning and event services. It also points to the International Council of Air Shows, a trade group that works to build a strong air show industry with high standards of safety, professionalism and integrity.
