Yesterday, the airshow community lost one of its finest.
George Cline was more than an Air Boss—he was a gentle giant whose calm presence, steady leadership, and unwavering dedication made every event and everyone around him better. He was the rock of our community, someone we all looked to for guidance, wisdom, and quiet strength.
George dedicated countless hours to ensuring the safety of performers, crews, volunteers, and spectators, always putting others before himself. His professionalism was unmatched, but it was his kindness yet gritty humility, and genuine care for people that left the greatest impact.
The skies will never be quite the same without him, and the void he leaves in our airshow family will be impossible to fill.
To George’s family, friends, and everyone fortunate enough to have worked alongside him, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
Blue skies, George. Thank you for your friendship, your leadership, and the legacy you’ve left for all of us to carry forward. You will never be forgotten.
