SHOW CENTER The Airshow Podcast - It’s a brand-new year, and we’re off to a big start on SHOW CENTER The Airshow Podcast. If you love airshows, fast jets, and behind-the-scenes stories from the best in the business, you won’t want to miss this one.

This episode we’re thrilled to welcome Captain Nick "Laz" Le Tourneau, the new F-22 Raptor Demo Team pilot for the United States Air Force. It’s Laz’s first season at the stick of the world’s most dominant air superiority fighter, and he joins us to talk about the team’s mission, his road to the cockpit, and what fans can expect when the Raptor takes center stage this season. Let’s just say persistence really pays off.

This episode is packed with airshow news, including:

• Updates from the Blue Angels' winter training and how the team is shaping up for 2025.
• A new Thunderbird documentary and what we know so far.
• The latest exit polling numbers on Warbirds—some interesting trends are emerging, and we’ll break them down on the show.

We’re also rolling out something new—playing your voice messages straight from our website. Haven’t tried it yet? Head over to AirshowPodcast.com, hit the button, and tell us what’s on your mind.

And there’s more big news. SHOW CENTER The Airshow Podcast officially welcomes Steph Stricklen to the hosting lineup. She’s a seasoned aviation journalist, airshow announcer, and social media presence, and we couldn’t be more excited to have her on board.
