Our Team
AIRMAN was developed by Gary Benner from Tauranga New Zealand, initially for the Classic Flyers Airshow at Tauranga Airport in 2012.
The Software was used again at Tauranga in 2014, and Ian Sowden joined the team as Program Manager, operating the software system in conjunction with the Display Director, and Event management.
In 2015 the Wings over Wairarapa event ran with the AIRMAN system, successfully managing the scheduling and programme information flow.
AIRMAN is being continually developed to provide a complete solution for Airshow Management as a Cloud Based System.
