Performers

United States Air Force Thunderbirds

As Air Force ambassadors who travel the world over, the Thunderbirds strive to showcase the integrity, selfless service, and excellence embodied by American Airmen everywhere. Their precision aerial maneuvers exhibit the capabilities of modern high performance aircraft and the high degree of professional skill needed to operate them.

Navy F/A-18 Demo Team

The single-seat F/A-18 Hornet is the nation’s first strike-fighter. This model is highly capable across the full mission spectrum: air superiority, fighter escort, reconnaissance, aerial refueling, close air support, air defense suppression and day/night precision strike. The U.S. Navy Blue Angels proudly fly this type of aircraft.

Misty Blues

The Misty Blues is the only all woman skydiving demonstration team in the world. Between team members, this eight-woman team has racked up over 30 records and 20,000 jumps. The average number of jumps per teammember is a remarkable 2,000.

Mike Goulian

Mike Goulian doesn’t just fly an air show, he attacks it. Every roll, pull, and tumble of his flight is a deliberate execution of precision. His crisp, athletic style of flying has led him to a landmark career as an aerobatic competitor. He continuously redefines what is possible in the air.

Rob Holland

Rob Holland’s non-stop, action packed routine gives air show fans a new perspective on what an aircraft can do. With a high energy mixture of both high and low altitude maneuvers, Rob will delight and amaze fans with his MX2 aircraft, a 385+ horsepower masterpiece that can roll at an astronomical 400+ degrees per second.

Texas Flying Legends

The Texas Flying Legends Museum flies their collection of the best flying WWII aircraft available today with a message of inspiration and honor. The Texas Flying Legends fly to remind us of the virtue, strength, pride, and valor that each member of our armed forces has carried with them when our country needed them most.

Red Tail P-51 Mustang

The Mustang flies to honor the accomplishments of the Tuskegee Airmen, America’s first black military pilots and crew. The Red Tail Squadron honors those Airmen by educating people about their history and legacy as men who had a goal and let nothing stop them from achieving it.

Ace Maker Air Shows

Gregory “Wired” Colyer of Ace Maker Air Shows flies the U.S. Air Force’s first operational jet, the T-33 Shooting Star. He acquired this American-built jet trainer in 2008 and named it Ace Maker. This type of aircraft was produced by Lockheed and made its first flight in 1948. The T-33 has been used by both the Navy and the Air Force.

Greg Koontz and the Alabama Boys

Greg Koontz has been performing in air shows since 1974, when he joined Col. Moser’s Flying Circus, and learned his trademark maneuvers from the best in the business. Greg’s flown in over 350 air shows.

Oregon Aero SkyDancer

Steve Oliver and Suzanne Asbury-Oliver are recognized worldwide as the only husband-and-wife professional aerobatic and skywriting team. They thrill audiences with their classic aerobatic show, night-time pyrobatics performance, and Suzanne’s feats as the nation’s only active female professional skywriter.

Dan Marcotte

Dan Marcotte’s high energy show features the Ultimate 10-200 Biplane. With just the right balance of classic aerobatics, tumbles, tailslides, spins, and signature maneuvers, this Vermont native keeps the audience riveted from take-off to landing.

Collings Foundation Corsair

The Vought F4U-5NL Corsair is one of the most famous fighters built during WWII. Its distinctive gull-wing design allows the propeller to rotate without hitting the ground. Used in Korea as a carrier-based fighter and night fighter, the Corsair survived an era when propeller-driven fighters were being replaced by jets.

Northeast Raiders

The Northeast Raiders provide a unique aerobatic formation demonstration. The Raider Pilots display the capabilities of the Yahkovlev 52 and Nanchang CJ6 aircraft in precision formation and solo aerobatic flight at show center.

Team Chaos

Team Chaos’ act is an exciting, multi-sensory experience that astounds spectators. Be prepared for a crazy performance that involves a lot of fire! Team Chaos includes Jacquie Warda, Randy Harris, and Neal and Chris Darnell’s Flash Fire Jet Truck.

Jacquie Warda

Jacquie launched her solo aerobatic career at fifty with her, one-of-a-kind, Pitts Special biplane. Nine years later, she’s still going strong. Jacquie’s performance consists of low-level, breathtaking maneuvers: everything from pulls to vertical flight to the most difficult end-over-end gyroscopic tumbling an airplane can do. 

Randy Harris

Randy Harris’ act is a unique demonstration of the colorful Skybolt 300 he built in the living room of his condominium. His plane was designed with eye-catching features that let fans easily follow each maneuver.

Flash Fire Jet Truck

This father/son team knows speed. Neal and Chris Darnell are the pilots of the Flash Fire Jet Trucks. In 2005, Neal set the Air Show Speed Record of 375 miles per hour in Florida. The record still holds today and makes Flash Fire the “World’s Fastest Jet Truck.”

Tora Bomb Squad

The Tora Bomb Squad pyrotechnics team provides a performance of breathtaking smoke, fire, and explosions. They will be supporting Team Chaos and the Navy F/A-18 in their performances.

Atlas Fireworks

Atlas will be topping off Friday’s night show with another awe-inspiring fireworks display. Atlas has been captivating audiences with unparalleled displays for over half a century. Each and every display is designed by an experienced pyrotechnic artist that combines creative and scientific methods to create a truly magical experience.
