Pirated Skies Wing Walking. Wing walking with a twist reaching speeds in excess of 180mph and sustaining up to 5 positive and 3 negative G's, this aerial combat cruise is very demanding on Captain Kyro and his loyal first mate. More

Comedy Act! Franklin’s Flying Circus has one of the wildest and craziest comedy act in the airshow business. This dizzy drunk performance is truly a crowd pleaser. Most pilots only drag a wingtip on the ground during a ground loop. Kyle does it for fun so often, that his Cub needs steal skid plates taped to the wingtips!! More

Aerobatic Decathlon! Matt pushes the nimble aerobatic trainer to its limits keeping the crowd on their feet the entire time. Most of his aerobatic sequence is negative-g with outside loops, pulls, pushes, and tumbles. His signature maneuver is the negative avalanche (outside loop with an outside snap-roll on top.) More
