From wingwalking acts to World Championships to formation flying, “Mr. Airshow” has done it all! With over 30 years of airshow experience, Three-Time National Champion, with too many awards to mention, Air Show Hall of Famer Gene Soucy tears up the sky in the ShowCat with his combination of smoke, noise, and elegance. Crowds go wild for the roar of the monstrous Pratt & Whitney engine, and Gene’s trademark one-wheel landing proves the show isn’t over until the big kitty purrs.
This crowd favorite features wingwalker Teresa Stokes as she climbs about the wings of the ShowCat, piloted by aviation legend Gene Soucy. Anything is possible with these two in the air…if you’re lucky, you’ll even catch a glimpse of a headstand in the sky! As America’s favorite wingwalker who goes for a wild ride on the wing, this one-of-a-kind performer is also an acclaimed aviation artist and accomplished pilot.
In addition, the show features the US Navy Blue Angels, US Air Force F-16 Heritage Flight, US Army Golden Knights, and the Geico Skytypers. Included in the flying schedule are also renowned civilian air show performers, Kent Pietsch with the Jelly Belly Interstate Cadet, Scott Yoak will put his P-51D Quick Silver through its paces, the B-25 “Panchito”, and you’ll see one of the aircraft race against an electric motorcycle.
There is also a great line-up of statics to look at including the A-37 Dragonfly, the C-17 Globemaster, T-6A Texan, MH-53E Sea Dragon helicopter, Civil Air Patrol Cessna 182, LC-130 Hercules (on skis), L-29, The T-45 Goshawk, and the KC-10 Extender.
