The U.S. Army Parachute Team, the Golden Knights, has announced their show schedule for the 2011 season at the annual International Council of Airshows convention.
This schedule on the blog is subject to change without notice and is weather permitting, for everyones safety.
Stay tuned to the MMP blog and check the "Milcom Blog Guide to Airshows" section on the right hand side of this blog for links to other schedules and field reports from readers during the airshow season.
Don't forget to checkout our 12th annual Air Show Guide that will appear in the March 2011 issue of Monitoring Times magazine. It will be loaded with the latest frequencies (for US and foreign teams), combined schedules, and radio equipment recommendations to make your air show experience an enjoyable and pleasurable one.
The web version of our March guide won't be posted to the MT website until mid to late April. This is done as a courtesy to our subscribers and readers who pay the freight. So get your copy of the March issue before it sells out when it is released in the last week of February. Better yet, get a subscription and don't miss a single exciting issue of Monitoring Times magazine.
I hope to have a more detailed schedule very soon when the team makes its official release for the entire year, so stay tuned to this blog for the latest updates.
