Greg Shelton is a world class aerobatic pilot and has been performing at air shows and fly ins since 1990. Greg decided to spice up his act by adding an adorable little wing walker to his show stopping routine. SMART MOVE GREG!
The fearsome twosome unveiled their dare-devil act at the Claremore Airshow last weekend and the crowd went absolutely berzerk. They couldn't get enough of the loops and rolls, and the smoke and noise coming from Greg's 450 Horsepower Stearman Biplane. But most of all, they couldn't get enough of Ashley.
Ashley Battles had the crowd in the palm of her hand. The boys followed her around like puppy dogs and the ladies were lined up for questions and autographs. Everyone was captivated by her charming personality, youthful enthusiasm and the bravery it took for her to perform such remarkable stunts.
It's hard to imagine a better advertising investment than sponsoring Greg's antique biplane. But when you consider the marketing value of the entire package, it really makes good business sense. This is the kind of sponsorship ad agencies and their clients dream of.

About Air Shows
HOW MANY PEOPLE ATTEND AIR SHOWS?
Based on the information ICAS has gathered through our Event Organizer Survey, we estimate that between 15 million and 18 million spectators attend air shows throughout North America each year.
WHAT AIR SHOWS HAVE THE HIGHEST ATTENDANCE?
A variety of factors affect attendance figures at all air shows in a given year. Does the show charge admission or is it free? Has weather been a factor, or have there been scheduling concerns? However, there are a number of shows whose figures place them among the highest attended shows in the industry. They include (in date order):
Sun ‘n Fun EAA Fly-In, Lakeland FL
Thunder Over Louisville, Louisville KY
Air & Sea Show, Ft. Lauderdale FL
Joint Services Open House, Andrews AFB MD
Air Power Over Hampton Roads, Langley AFB

WHO TYPICALLY ATTENDS AIR SHOWS?
Air shows draw large numbers of demographically attractive spectators - a well-educated, affluent group of men, women and children of all ages. More than 70 percent of the audience at an air show has had some college education. Three quarters report household income of $35,000 or more. The average spectator is just under 39 years of age, but more than 53 percent of spectators are between 30 and 50.
ARE AIR SHOWS SAFE?
Air shows offer a consistently and historically safe environment for millions of spectators each year. Since current rules were implemented nearly 50 years ago, there has not been a single spectator fatality at a North American show – an enviable safety record for any business.
