Our Interactive 2011 Airshow Guide links you to nearly 150 events, from the annual weeklong extravaganza at Oshkosh to dozens of one-day aviation celebrations around the country. Along with legendary individual performers like Sean Tucker and Patty Wagstaff, the top military teams will put in dozens of appearances: The U.S. Navy Blue Angels team, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, the F-22 Raptor Demo Team, and the U.S. Air Force's Heritage Flights, always a crowd pleaser with their inspiring combination of old warbirds and modern jet fighters.
We've also got our handy Spotter's Guide to help you identify the aircraft most commonly seen at airshows. You can either view it on the web, print out a two-sided PDF to carry with you, or call it up on your mobile device (airspacemag.com/spotter) while you're at the show.
