Jon “Huggy” Huggins - Airshow Announcer Huggy
On the mic for his third time at Lake in the Sky will be Jon Huggins.   No stranger to airshows, Huggy has spent his ‘spare’ time the past 20+ years hanging around airshows as a flying performer, static display, and all-around aircraft enthusiast.  His interests include not only the popular civilian and military airplanes currently on the airshow circuit, but also the many spectacular classic warbirds and experimental aircraft flying today.  In 2007 he decided to put his knowledge to use and started announcing airshows on the West Coast - receiving great reviews from the general public and seasoned performers alike.
When he isn't announcing an airshow, or loitering around his local airport, he works full time as a USAF U-2 and T-38 Instructor Pilot in the 1st Reconnaissance Squadron at Beale AFB, and is one of only seven U-2 interview pilots.

Huggy just returned in January 2012 from an extended assignment to Afghanistan where he flew 109 combat missions in the USAF’s newest reconnaissance aircraft, the MC-12 Liberty Ship.

Huggy is a Command Pilot with over 6900 military pilot hours; one of the highest time T-38 and U-2 pilots currently in the military, and has had the opportunity to fly over 90 different military and civilian aircraft.  

As an aviation enthusiast, Huggy enjoys learning the history of just about anything aviation related, and loves to hear the personal stories of all pilots, famous or not. 
The breadth and depth of his aviation knowledge comes out on the microphone, and gives the crowd a unique insight to the spectacle in front of them.
