Introducing.... Danny Clisham “Sky Talker”

When most youngsters were building model aircraft, Danny Clisham was already involved in the real thing. Growing up in the world of loops, rolls and spins made him a natural in the modern-day air show business.

Danny pursued an aviation career shortly after graduation from high school by first purchasing a Piper Cub and then soloing. Having successfully achieved his boyhood dream, he became a professional pilot for a major airline. As a career airline pilot, Danny set and has broken world-class speed records. While an American Airlines captain, he set a new speed record of just under 600 miles per hour. These records are officially sanctioned by the National Aeronautic Association, the United States representative of world record keeper Federation Aeronautique Internationale in Paris. Currently, Danny is one of a small corps of test pilots hand-picked for participation in a Boeing 747 supertanker project.

Known for fresh, lively, knowledge-based commentary, Danny is one of America’s most popular air show announcers. In the course of his career, he has entertained millions of attendees at air shows throughout North America. Sponsoring organizations have long relied on Danny’s professionalism and credibility. He repeatedly puts on performances that thrill audiences and keep them coming back year after year.
