Visibility/Recognition... there is no better way for you to establish a name for yourself in the air show community than through ICAS membership.

Access to Website Content... the new ICAS website presents a single source from which you can access virtually any piece of information you will need to operate within the air show industry. To say the new website is worth the cost of membership by itself is not accurate; it is worth FAR MORE than the cost of membership.
 
Lower Music License Rates... On behalf of all U.S. air shows, the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS) has negotiated a 2012 rate of $178 per public air show day with BMI; a rate of $150 per day with ASCAP; and $82 for a one- to two-day air show weekend, $119 for three to four days, and $156 for five to seven days with SESAC.
