Some legacies are measured in trophies. Des Barker's is measured in lives.

Maj. Gen. Des Barker (SAAF, ret.) has been selected for induction into the ICAS Foundation Air Show Hall of Fame, alongside legendary warbird pilot Steve Hinton. Both will be formally inducted on December 10 at the Chairman's Banquet during the 2026 ICAS Convention.

For more than 20 years, Des collected and analyzed international air show accident data so the rest of us would never have to learn those lessons the hard way. "Zero Error Margin" and "Anatomy of Air Show Accidents" are still required reading in this industry — and they still change how people fly.

In 2022, FROST was honored as the inaugural recipient of the Des Barker Safety Award. We carry that name onto every show site we work.

One more thread: FROST CEO Bob Yanacsek flew a Focke-Wulf in air shows. And Des conducted test flights in the new FW149. Two pilots, two continents, the same airplane — and the same conviction that an air show can be breathtaking and safe at the same time.

Congratulations to both inductees. We'll be standing and applauding on December 10.

Today, our airshow family came together to celebrate the life of an amazing man, Mr. George Cline.

George was instrumental in changing the airshow industry, making it safer for performers, volunteers, and spectators alike. His dedication, innovation, and passion left a lasting impact that will continue to benefit aviation for generations to come.

Thank you, George, for everything you did for our airshow family and the aviation community. You will be deeply missed, but your legacy will live on.

Blue skies and tailwinds, George.
