ANNOUNCER SANDY SANDERS

Sandy Sanders is one of only a few people in the country who claims air show announcing as a full time job. After nearly 40 years behind the microphone, Sandy's expertise is evident, twice earning him the title of Favorite Air Show Announcer by the readers of General Aviation News and Flyer.

He got his start as an announcer at the prestigious National Championship in Reno, Nevada, in 1965. Although only a two-week program at the time, Sandy was responsible for all the event's announcing, including calling races, introducing visiting dignitaries, making public announcements and announcing air show acts. His first year went so well, that he has been invited back to announce the event every year since.

Before becoming an announcer, Sandy was an actual air show performer with Gold Coast Airshows, along with his crop-dusting partner, Bud Fountain. To add to his list of credentials, Sandy has also worked as a narrator for several motion pictures.
