Some of the highlights

they thrill spectators with their four, 600-horsepower, radial engine T-6 Texan aerobatic routine.
• Mike Wiskus – Watch this National Aerobatic Champion’s incredible performance in his Lucas Oil highly-modified Pitts aircraft “Super Stinker”. If you can believe it, he bought the aircraft on eBay as a
wrecked airplane.
