# World Aviation

> World Aviation is an independent aviation events and news hub that publishes an airshow calendar, visitor guides to the major flying displays, features on iconic aircraft, and practical plane-spotting and photography guides. It is written for airshow-goers, plane spotters, and avgeeks. It is not affiliated with any airshow organiser, aircraft manufacturer, or retailer, it does not sell tickets, and it takes no sponsored rankings or paid placements. Exact event dates and ticketing change season to season, so every listing gives the usual window and points readers to the organiser's official site to confirm.

## Who stands behind it
- Publisher: World Aviation, https://worldaviationfestivalblog.com/
- Byline: everything is published under one collective editorial byline, the World Aviation newsroom. That is a working name for the desk, not an individual writer, and the site does not publish invented biographies or credentials.
- Editorial standards, sourcing, corrections policy, and funding: https://worldaviationfestivalblog.com/how-we-verify-listings/
- Contact and corrections: newsroom@worldaviationfestivalblog.com
- Funding: run out of pocket by its operator. As things stand there are no ads, no sponsorships, no paid placements, no affiliate links, no paywall, and no login. That describes today, not a promise about every future year; any change is written on the standards page before it appears anywhere else on the site.

## Notes
- Independent hub, not affiliated with any airshow organiser, aircraft manufacturer, or retailer named on the site. It lists shows, it never organises them, so event markup on this site carries no organiser claim. Aircraft features stick to widely documented history and avoid disputed performance figures. Airshow timings describe the usual season window; exact dates, displays, and tickets must be confirmed on each event's official site. Any future affiliate links will be disclosed and will not change what gets recommended. Free to read, no login, no paywall.
- Every article page shows a visible byline for the World Aviation newsroom, the date it was published, the date it was last revised where that applies, and a references block at the foot listing the outside material the page was checked against. That same list is what the page reports as its citation array in structured data, so the two cannot drift apart. The reference points are the organiser that runs the event, the civil aviation authority or air arm that regulates the flying, and the museums, archives, and manufacturers that hold the primary record on an airframe.
- A page with nothing external worth citing, a pure technique guide for example, carries no references block rather than a padded one.
- Nothing on the site is based on hands-on testing, measurement, or privileged access, and no page claims otherwise.
