Our Air Boss | Trey Brown

Current Air Boss Rating: Basic Air Boss

Central NC native, Trey was born and raised in Goldsboro, NC. Born in 1991, being raised in an Airforce town was always loud and full of wonders. As he grew up his father and grandfather always shared their love of aviation with him. By age 5, he was attending airshows all across the state including one of his first ever being a show hosting the Blue Angels. Through his entire childhood he continued to attend any and every airshow he could. This would eventually lead him to the desire to become a pilot himself. He began flight training in his mid 20's and achieved not 1, but 2 pilot ratings allowing him to fly fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. Taking this knowledge and experience, he decided to pursue the rigorous task of becoming an FAA recognized Air Boss. Beginning this process officially in 2023, he has been able to train with the original founders of the program itself and learn key knowledge about airshows and how to ensure a safe and astounding airshow as has been done at some of the largest airshows on the planet.

Professional Airshow Box Design

Designing an airshow box presents a multifaceted challenge that requires careful consideration of numerous factors. Foremost, ensuring the safety of both performers and spectators is paramount, demanding meticulous planning and coordination. The design must account for various aircraft types, sizes, and capabilities while maintaining optimal visibility for spectators. Moreover, factors like wind direction and speed need to be taken into account to ensure safe distances are maintained between aircraft and the crowd. Additionally, the airshow box design should allow for seamless flow and transition of performers without compromising their aerial maneuvers or interfering with each other's flight paths. It also needs to consider ground-based elements such as runways, taxiways, hangars, and facilities required by pilots during preparation. Balancing these intricate requirements while making the experience enjoyable for attendees necessitates precise calculations and expertise in aviation logistics – designing an airshow box a truly challenging task for professionals in this field.
