Get to know us

American Airshow Review was founded in 2023 by Chaz Teets—an aviation photographer, writer, and lifelong aviation enthusiast with deep personal ties to flight. Growing up as the grandson of two World War II veterans, Chaz developed an early fascination with aircraft and the stories of those who flew them. That passion only grew stronger over the years, eventually leading him to join the Civil Air Patrol and later launch this platform to share the thrill of airshows with a wider audience. Today, American Airshow Review covers events across the United States through compelling photography, writing, and video—aiming to capture not just the spectacle, but the people and purpose behind it. Whether you’re an airshow performer, aviation professional, or someone who simply loves the sound of engines in the sky, we’re here to connect you to the heart of aviation.

Our mission

Our mission at American Airshow Review is to celebrate and promote the wonder of aviation through compelling photography, dynamic storytelling, and insightful reviews. With a commitment to integrity, passion, and truth, we aim to connect aviation enthusiasts and the general public to the vibrant world of airshows. As a proud member of the International Council of Airshows, we strive to spotlight the best of aviation while fostering collaboration with professionals in the field to inspire and educate future generations.

Our vision

At American Airshow Review, we believe aviation deserves to be celebrated with passion, professionalism, and purpose. Our vision is to grow into one of the nation’s leading sources for airshow and aviation content—uniting a team of talented photographers, writers, and videographers from across the United States. As we expand, we aim to forge strong collaborations with both private and military aviation communities, sharing their stories, preserving their traditions, and inspiring the next generation of aviation enthusiasts. Through high-quality coverage, authentic storytelling, and a commitment to excellence, American Airshow Review will continue to champion the people, events, and aircraft that define the spirit of flight.
