The shows
10 US aerospace and defense shows in the next twelve months. Every date, venue and organiser here was read off the event's own page, and each one carries the line that page said it in. Load Factor runs none of them and sells nothing at any of them.

A show is on this list when its own page states its dates and we have read them. Nothing here is an exhibitor list: a show's exhibitor directory is published under terms we are not permitted to republish, so what an event page names is what the record already published, with the source on it.
