Eddie Andreini's Stearman Superbatics is a fast-paced 15-minute show with a thunderous charging take-off, double roll grabs and a special "I HUGE!" spectacular. This tremendous biplane will astonish crowds as it performs double outside loops, square loops, torque rolls, double snap rolls and the incomparable WOPCEVOK – a heart stopping end over and tumble maneuver – finishing off with an exciting inverted ribbon pickup.

David Martin's first aerobatics were performed in a 1941 Fleet biplane belonging to his grandfather, a barnstormer in the 1930s who insisted that David learn aerobatics. David started to seriously pursue competition aerobatics in 1994 upon purchasing an Extra 300S. After earning a place on the United States Aerobatic Team in 1997, he has attended four World Aerobatic Championships winning an individual gold medal and three team bronze medals. In 2001, David won the United States National Championship.

The Patriot Jets Team first debuted in 2003 as a two-ship team and continued to add Jets until 2006 when they became a team of fast-paced, formation flying, choreographed six-ship diamond formation aerobatic maneuvers.

Their signature "Tail Slide" where the aircraft actually slides backwards toward the ground is unique to the Patriots and their performances are highlighted by a computerized red, white and blue smoke system.

One of the most diverse and unique airshow performance offerings in the industry, Jim's Aerobatic Beechcraft F33C Bonanza is flown to its limit with dazzling, low-level maneuvers and unexpected thrills. Jim believes aviation is one of the greatest freedoms in this country and aerobatics, or as he says, controlling an aircraft that seems totally out of control, is the pinnacle of his aviation career.

The ShockWave Jet Truck runs at over 300 miles per hour (mph) racing airplanes and holds the world record for things like a quarter mile for trucks at 256 mph in just 6.36 seconds and full size trucks at 376 mph. At 36,000 horsepower, the ShockWave has enough power to accelerate at 3 Gs vertical — just as much as a space shuttle.

Weighing in at 7,000 pounds, and 18,000 pounds of thrust, the ShockWave Jet is ready to impress at this year's event.
