2015 TSM Air Show Special
Catch the Action in the Air and On the Air
By Brian and Jo Marie Topolski
Once again, Brian and Jo Marie Topolski take us all
to the air show with some dazzling photos and the inside scoop about what and
where to listen when you take your scanner with you. Brian also has a salute to
woman aviation pioneer, Julie Clark, a regular fixture at many air shows, and a
look inside his own air show command post.
The Air Show Experience
By Kevin Burke
TSM air show regular
contributor, Kevin Burke, shows us his own (and his son’s) photographic touch

“Study in Blues” as well as a review of the Bearcat BC-125AT at an air show.

By Richard Fisher KI6SN
Want to catch all the aviation action but don’t
have a scanner or live near an airport? Not to worry, says Richard Fisher, you
can enjoy aviation monitoring to the fullest extent possible, and at no cost.
Richard shows us how.
TSM Reviews: Teak Publishing’s 2015 Air Show Guide
By Ken Reitz KS4ZR
For many years, readers of Monitoring
Times magazine came to rely on the expertise
of its military communications columnist and MT assistant editor, Larry Van Horn N5FPW, to provide the very
latest in frequencies used by all the top aviation demonstration teams at air
shows across North America. And, even though MT closed its doors in December 2013, Larry has since
continued to provide these frequencies in the form of an annual Air Show Guide
in Kindle format. Here’s a review of his latest Air Show Guide.
