The F-15 Eagle is a twin engine tactical fighter primarily designed for air-to-air combat. It is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat....
The Navy Legacy Flight will feature the Navy F-18 Super Hornet and an F4U Corsair in a three aircraft formation flight showcasing the past and future of Naval aviation. The formation will make three formation passes and then light up the sky with separate high speed passes by the F4U and the F-18!...
The Red Bull Air Force is a team assembled from the most accomplished and experienced aviation experts on the planet. They specialize in highly coordinated aerial jump demonstrations and continually push the limits of human flight continually rethinking what is possible, and envision a world where all people live with boldness. They believe humans can fly and relentlessly pursue that which is thought impossible, then go and do it....
The Red Bull Helicopter is one of only a few in the world certified to do aerobatics. The highly modified BO-105C can do all kinds of tricks—barrel rolls, loops, vertical climbs, nose dives and flip forward and backward. Pilot and Red Bull athlete Aaron Fitzgerald has flown helicopter stunts for over 100 films and television shows and joined the Red Bull team in 2018....
John Black flies his Super Decathlon to the edge of the envelope putting on an dynamic display and showing what you can really make an over-the-wing airplane do! John learned to fly at just 17 and his first aerobatic lesson was in the very same type of plane he flies for his air show performance. A retired Air Force pilot, John currently flies the P-51 Mustang, L-39, and AT-6 when he’s not gracing the skies and wowing crowds with his show stopping performance!...
The U.S. Navy Blue Angels fly the F-18 Super Hornet and perform perform a combination of formation and solo maneuvers in an inspiring high energy demonstration. The four-jet diamond performs precision formation flight with the aircraft wingtips as close as 2 feet apart while performing loops, inverted rolls and even high performance turns. The two solo jets perform high energy maneuvers together and from opposite directions closing in on each other as fast as 1,000 mph. The six jets come together in the delta formation as the finale for the show, flying difficult formations and signature breaks that fill the sky with speed, sound and smoke trails! > Click Here for more information on the Blue Angels....
The F-22 Raptor is the fastest and most maneuverable fighter jet in the world today. The F-22's twin engines produce more thrust than any other fighter. Combined with its sleek aerodynamic design, this allows the F-22 to “Supercruise” at 1.5 times the speed of sound without using fuel consuming afterburner. The F-22’s unique thrust vectoring and advanced flight controls allow it to outmaneuver any other aircraft. The F-22 Raptor demo puts thrust vectoring on full display during its demonstration defying imagination as it climbs straight up, stops in mid-air, then reverses towards the ground before flipping the nose around in a summersault at near zero forward speed. The F-22 makes sharp, sudden turns displacing and compress air into vapor and...
The F-18 Rhino Demo Team flies the F/A-18F Super Hornet in a 15 minute demonstration of the Navy's workhorse carrier based fighter. This twin engine beast puts out 44,000 pounds of heart vibrating thrust in dynamic display of speed and maneuverability that is awe inspiring for a fighter originally developed over 40 years ago. . > Click Here for more info and photos of the F-18 Super Hornet....
