Default Air Shows

Does anyone know how an Air Show organizes a military static display? Do Air Show organizers call around different bases asking if pilots would be willing to donate their time, or is it more complicated then that?

They call the various Public Affair's offices of the bases they wish to have bring aircraft. It goes from there.

Hey, thanks MikeD. Do you know if the pilots and crews get paid?

Nope. No extra pay......at least not money-wise. Now, depending on the airshow and the quality of some of the groupies.........
