Red Eagles In Aerobatic Flight... Updated, Aggressive, Exciting!

E-I-C Note: The Aero-TV Team -- Jim, Tom, Paul, Nathan, The 'Other' Jim, Laura, Kristen, Birgit, and  Anjin, are busy working on all manner of exciting things for future updates of Aero-News... including putting the finishing touches on the Next-Generation of ANN, itself (Yup... BIG News to follow). Still; we're going to catch our breaths and take a short break during the holiday and hope you'll enjoy this classic episode of Aero-TV, in the interim... --Jim Campbell, ANN E-I-C

While many might assume that the sight of two Eagles in aerobatic flight was something that had been seen/done been before, two guys are out to prove you wrong. Red Eagles delivers a spectacular airshow... and their uniquely modified Eagles deliver the goods -- which is why when these guys flew over Cecil Field 2009, ALL eyes were turned skyward.  

The two guys behind the Red Eagles are Dan McClung and Buck Roetman... Aero-TV met up with them at the Alan Henley Benefit Airshow at Cecil Field last April and came away impressed with what two guys and some highly modified Eagles can do... especially when they're obviously having the times of the their lives.

Dan McClung is the Team leader and pilot of the 'Talon' Eagle. Dan got his start flying airplanes for the US Navy and has over 35 years of professional flying. In 21 years of active duty and reserve flying, he accumulated nearly 400 day and night traps in the A7 Corsair II and the A4 Skyhawk. He retired after 25 years of airline flying as a B767 Captain. He is an Air Show Competency Evaluator (ACE) for the International Council of Air Shows. '

Buck Roetman is Pilot of the Red Eagle. Buck specializes in systems and structure fabrication and maintenance to keep the team in the air. Buck’s extensive knowledge and background in auto racing assists us in our ability to fly faster and more efficiently. He holds nearly every FAA rating including an ATP, CFI, and A&P license and is an ACE for the International Council of Air Shows. Buck hails from Minnesota and presently resides in Sharpsburg, Georgia.
