ICAS News Advisory

​

As part of a larger advocacy effort related to the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) program soon to be launched by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), ICAS is today launching an aggressive and ambitious social media campaign intended to encourage the SBA to recognize air shows as entities eligible to apply for and receive grants offered as part of the SVOG program.

And we need your help.

The social media effort is built around this single, one-minute video developed by ICAS during the last few days. Although the video itself focuses on establishing the U.S. air show industry as American small business, the intent of the social media campaign is to demonstrate to the SBA that there is widespread support for helping the American air show industry.

Temporary Tower

- Minden Tower can be contacted on VHF via 125.525 for all ground movements, takeoff, landing, and airspace transitions.

- Ground frequency will be monitored via 121.175. Tower prefers all communications occur on 125.525 unless otherwise specified by Tower.
