Here are a couple of additions to the static display at the Hamilton Airshow since our initial post:

We are also pleased to announce that Mikey McBryan of Buffalo Airways/Ice Pilots fame will be making a special guest appearance at the 2012 Hamilton Airshow.

Lovable, hilarious and obsessed with AC/DC, Mikey McBryan is “Buffalo” Joe’s youngest son, and the future of Buffalo Airways. He was raised in the hangar, but Mikey never aspired to be a pilot like his dad. Instead, he earned a degree in business and is now being groomed to take over the reins at Buffalo, though Mikey jokes that this only means “getting in more trouble, more often” with Joe. With the moral support of his orange office cat, he navigates the company through financial turbulence, in-flight emergencies, and one of Buffalo Airways’ most epic and harrowing journeys ever – all under the watchful eye of his dad.

You never know where Mikey will show up during the Airshow weekend but we’re pretty sure at some point he will be in the Museum’s retail tent helping to peddle the Buffalo Airwear line of clothing and goodies.
