If you've been to an airshow in Pennsylvania, chances are you heard the voice of Howdy McCann announcing. Howdy passed away on March 9, 2023 at the age of 71. He was the announcer for airshows in Allentown, Avoca, Indiana, Latrobe, Reading, and many others across the region and country.Submitted by new_tanker t3_11pp0pf in Pennsylvania

These announcers leave an impression. I’m sure Howdy will be missed.
Is there a calendar of air shows for PA/NJ/MD/NY? I’m from Northern Ireland and my dad used to take me to air shows around the UK to the point that the Red Arrows almost became boring. I’d love to take my 3yo this year. We had fun up at Rheinbeck Aerodrome Museum last summer if anyone is going to be in the Woodstock area.

Many announcers have their own trademarks; the late Gordon Bowman-Jones, who announced at Willow Grove, was one. Howdy is among that group of great announcers.
As for calendars, there isn't one specifically for that part of the USA but one of the best ones out there is on Milavia.
