Testimonials

In 2018, Pocono Raceway hosted the successful and very well received “Great Pocono Airshow” that was organized and produced by David Schultz Airshows.

We knew of Schultz Airshows and their capabilities from other large airshows in and around our region. We were particularly impressed with the work Schultz Airshows did with the Wilkes-Barre Airshow and the Atlantic City Airshow.

David and every member of this team we interacted with were extremely knowledgeable, efficient, professional, and easy to work with. I have no hesitations recommending David Schultz Airshows to any other venue looking to host an airshow.

Nick Igdalsky, Pocono Raceway, PA

Bottom-line Up Front: Schultz Airshows rocked the 2019 Robins Air Force Base Thunder Over Georgia Air Show yet again!

David and his stellar team did provided our team plans and stellar services for aircraft parking, airbossing, a comprehensive sound package, announcing, and consulting on a public transportation system that supported thousands of onlookers over a 3-day period. This was our 2nd Air Show with Schultz Airshows and we’re looking forward to our 3rd event.

Major Jim Jackson (Ret.), Robins AFB, GA

David Schultz Airshows provides a 1-2-3 Punch to any airshow organizer/director—Air Boss, Sound System, and Maintenance—oils/fluids/organization behind the scenes ramp was unparalleled!

David Schultz Airshows’ Air Boss meeting every morning was THE best I’ve seen in the industry—professional, understandable power points, airshow boxes completely defined, FAA Coordination on all essential required documents, you name it, it was proved professionally.

David Schultz Airshows’ Air Boss scheduling of performing aircraft was completely masterful; meeting the intent of any airshow director to include the professional narrating of all performers/aircraft.

Lt Colonel Jeffrey Shaffer, 910th AW, Youngstown ARS, OH

As Demonstration Coordinator and Drop Zone Control Officer for the Air Force Parachute Team-Wings of Blue, I recently had the privilege of working with the Schultz Airshow team during the F.E. Warren “Drive-In” Airshow 2020. The outstanding coordination by the Schultz team for this event, particularly during COVID 19 mitigation, was absolutely flawless and their ability to accommodate our last minute changes was greatly appreciated. Furthermore, their vision and execution of an airshow during unprecedented challenges in our industry were top notch and beyond anything I could imagine

Keith Tolley, USAFA Wings of Blue Parachute Team, CO

David Schultz Airshows LLC is top notch! David and his team keep the airshow safe, organized, and running smoothly. He is with us every step of the way. He goes beyond just running the airshow. He takes time to meet with the Airport Authority Board and local officials to answer their questions and concerns. I highly recommend David Schultz Airshows LLC for your Airshow.

Nathanael Arthurs, Jimmy Stewart Airshow, Indiana County Airport, PA

Schultz Airshows and their team are Pros. They know who to call and what acts are best for our area. They have lots of good industry contacts. Their assistance with the planning and resource collection from various partners was extremely helpful. The ability for Schultz Airshows to provide all the services needed from planning, to air boss, to announcing, is majorly helpful as opposed to having multiple contracts and increased coordination.
