Herb Hunter

Air show fans who have attended Midwest Air Shows have learned to appreciate announcer Herb Hunter as probably the smoothest "microphone jockey" in the business. He has become a household name among Chicago fans and the air show industry nationwide. And his reputation as a consummate professional who talks the talk and walks the walk continues to grow today.

As a member of the Illinois Air National Guard, based in the Windy City, Herb logged more than 5,000 hours in Boeing KC-135s alone. Today, as a Boeing 747-400 pilot for a major US airline, he has logged more than 18,000 hours in the air, mostly in Boeing aircraft.
