Lineup Of Aerobatic Acts Grows

The EAA announced that additional aerobatic performers have been added to the lineup. The latest additions are:

NextGen Eagle Aerobatic Team: A two-ship team that follows in the footsteps of the legendary Eagles Aerobatic Team that thrilled audiences for 25 years until their retirement in 1995. Leland Kracher and Tom Braymer fly their one-of-a-kind, nostalgic, and engaging show with lots of smoke and bright colors as they do minimal wingtip separation flight and opposing passes in their iconic Christen Eagle aircraft.

Ed Hamill/Folds of Honor: Ed is a retired U.S. Air Force colonel with more than 30,000 hours of flying time in aircraft that includes the F-16 Fighting Falcon. Now he flies to salute the Folds of Honor organization the provides scholarships to families of America’s fallen or disabled military and first responders.

Paul Bennet: Paul is a multiple national aerobatic champion in Australia with thousands of hours in air shows Down Under. He’ll be bringing his Wolf Pitts Pro biplane built by Steve Wolf to AirVenture. It is one of just two such aircraft in the world, the other one is the Oracle Challenger III that Sean D. Tucker flies.

Starlight Aerial Productions: This is the team that brought the amazing drone displays in the night air shows, and they’re back! This year’s shows promise to have even more imaginative formations along with fireworks and aircraft aerobatics in the night air shows on July 23 and 26.
