Podcast appearances and mentions of john cudahy

A provision in this year's National Defense Authorization Act, seems to have directed the Defense Department to analyze military air shows, and the role they play in recruitment, among other things. That got us thinking about that question as well, and we seemed to have found the perfect person to discuss it. I had the pleasure of speaking with John Cudahy, who is the president of the International Council of Air Shows. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Warbird Radio to Feature ICAS President John Cudahy on the Popularity of Vintage Military Aircraft at AirshowsWARBIRD RADIO - On this episode Warbird Radio is set to welcome John Cudahy, President of the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS), to discuss what the latest data reveals about the popularity of vintage military aircraft at airshows across the United States. The conversation will focus on findings from the 2023 Spectator Survey conducted by ICAS, which indicates that static warbird displays have seen a 4.7% decline in spectator interest since 2018, and when you factor in the 2000-2016 average, they've fallen 7.2% overall. Warbirds in general saw a bump of 3.4% in 2018 over the 2000-2016 average but have since fallen from 44.7% to 42.5% in 2023. Despite this dip, warbirds remain the third most popular attraction at airshows according to Cudahy, demonstrating their continued significance in the airshow industry. However, this downward trend raises important questions: What does it mean for the future of warbirds at airshows, and how can operators work to reverse it ahead of the 2025 US Spectator Survey?Joining the discussion is Dik Daso, Executive Director of the Air Force Historical Foundation and former Curator of Modern Military at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. Daso brings an optimistic perspective and fresh ideas on how to reinvigorate public interest in warbirds. He will also serve as the featured speaker at this year's National Warbird Operators Conference (NWOC) in Dallas, where these critical topics will be explored in greater depth.Warbird Radio host Matt Jolley points out an ironic challenge facing warbird operators: the very thing they often find frustrating about airshows—spectators running up to touch their aircraft—could actually be a golden opportunity. Daso points out that tactile learning—even smell—is a huge part of the way children create memories. Jolley adds that the Spectator Survey supports this, with data showing RC airplanes (something accessible to young folks) have risen in popularity by over 10% since 2018. Modern military interest is up over 15% as well, reflecting the fact that things people can relate to drive popularity.Jolley, who is not only the host of Warbird Radio but also a top U.S.-based airshow announcer, brings an industry insider's perspective to this topic as well. He recalls how, as a kid, the smell of oil and avgas at an airshow would stick with him long after the engines cooled down, and how standing under the wing of a B-17 gave him a sense of history no book ever could. It's moments like those that forge lasting connections, and with fewer living veterans to share firsthand experiences, it is now up to operators and enthusiasts to bridge the gap and keep these stories alive for new generations. The key, Jolley argues, is to adapt storytelling methods to modern audiences, engaging them in ways that resonate and ensure these historic aircraft remain relevant.With the next ICAS Spectator Survey scheduled for 2025, now is the time for the warbird community to mobilize. The hard work of engaging audiences could yield tangible results in next year's data, helping secure the place of warbirds at airshows for years to come.To register for NWOC and be part of the conversation, click the link below.

Welcome to the PromoKitchen podcast. Chefs Bill Petrie and Kirby Hasseman. PPAI has a long history of executing education and networking events to foster growth within the promotional products industry. Recently, PPAI held an event in Denver targeted at young promo professionals called SPARK. This event was created by – and targeted to – millennials who comprise the largest portion of the workforce in the United States. Led by Seth Barnett, PPAI’s Diversity Development and Engagement Manager, SPARK is designed to give millennials an opportunity to become engaged, educated, and connected with topics that are specific to the beginning stages of starting a successful career in the promotional products industry. On a recent unScripted podcast, Kirby and Bill discussed SPARK and, while applauding the overall initiative and success of the event, they expressed some concern about the optics coming out of SPARK and how it might be viewed from an outsider’s perspective. Specifically, the lack of the young professional’s story during and immediately following the event. We know there is a story – and important story – to tell and PromoKitchen asked two attendees of the event to share the SPARK story, their way. First, we have John Cudahy who is the Senior National Account Manager at Prime Resources. John has over 15 years of industry experience and is the current President of SAAGNY. John also participated on the SPARK workgroup which helped shape the overall event. We also have Kelsey Cunningham who is the Regional Sales Manager for Imagen Brands (Crown and Vitronic). She grew up in the industry as her family’s distributorship before moving to the supplier side 10 years ago.

In the wake of a difficult weekend (and, indeed, a difficult season) for the airshow community, I asked John Cudahy to sit down for a few minutes to talk about airshow safety.   John has been the president of the International Council of Air Shows, Inc. (“ICAS”) since 1997.  I’ve heard him speak at the annual convention in Las Vegas for the past two years and I’m returning to Las Vegas again this December. John is one of those people who has always been on my list of people to bring onto the show at some appropriate time.  I had thoughts of bringing him on as a part of the upcoming episode encapsulating my experience attending ICAS’s Airshows 101 class at the last convention.  But the events of the summer conspired to make it more important to bring John onto the show now to talk about the ICAS safety culture.
