Panchito.
Kraft swings around.
They're not staying, but they're having a great time. All the way from Alabama,
I'm sure Oklahoma, the KC-135, the Maltas, and the remote Snowcats.
Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for my man,
as they bring the colors down. We get these under way officially.
That was a Thunderbird 6, speaking about you with the sound of freedom.
Ladies and gentlemen, Ghost Rider Airshows is proud to present David Hammond and the
aerobatic crew.
Today, he proudly serves as one of the world's last remaining professional skywriters,
performing at aerial events across North America both day and night. Flying this 1956
to Adelaide DHC-1, designed originally as a trainer for the Royal Canadian Air Force,
you're ready for a display of precision low-level aerobatics in this classic airshow airplane.
Aviation has been part of Nathan's life ever since he was a young child.
Support the team, travels with the family, and it encourages you, as you heard Brittany,
to go see the world. 200 to 250 for freight. These guys are, some of them are pumping
two and three gallons a minute when they have their smoke on.
Under the antique biplane, over from Benji's aircraft, and in the distance I see one of our
favorite 5-in-5 detail.
I do too. Let's just enjoy this. Let's listen to it. Here comes the constellation from your right.
Camera's ready. Back in the day, Brittany, when you when you dressed to fly, you put a tie on.
Force for the military and global reach but this is the new
C-46 Pegasus. Look at that. Wow. In the refueling configuration.
So we mentioned there is verbal communication, there's also flight indicators, and that's the
pilot direction indicators, or PDIs. So they can, they call out contact from those parties,
and then what happens is... RJ wants to see your point of view, so share your videos
and tag him. Follow RJ on Instagram at RJ Gritter, and also on Facebook at RJ Gritter Airship.
Special thanks to Garmin Aviation.
See some cool stuff in there. There's a couple of stearments taken off.
The XB-70 Boundary Formation.
Hi.
The Anomaly has become the flying work of art for general aviation, and a centerpiece for
creativity and community in the aviation industry. This is the aircraft's fourth
appearance here at Sun and Fun in the Flyby Showcase, and it's become a fan favorite both
in the air and on the ground. The Mooney Anomaly, ladies and gentlemen.
And as he comes back for a photo pass, we've renamed this the Casey Pass.
Attention.
Through radio control flying, he started competing at the age of 16,
and even represented the United States on the world stage in indoor precision and freestyle
championships. Remote control flying gave RJ a strong background for the unique brand of
aerobatic flying that you're watching. I want to tell you about how RJ developed a passion
for aerobatics through radio control flying. He started competing at the age of 16,
and even represented the United States on the world stage in indoor precision and freestyle
championships. Remote control flying gave RJ a strong background for the unique brand of
aerobatic flying that you're watching right now. To describe that cockpit, Brittany,
because you've been in the simulator, what are you looking at when you're sitting in the seat?
A lot of buttons, knobs, throttles. He's been sky writing, most writing.
