Lets see..........kind of a "Dream Airshow"......Bud Granley with his five acts (maybe more if there are any unattended aircraft on the ramp)
Kent Pietsch with three acts........Who could we get to fill any spaces in this show?????

For aerobatic pilot, not showman, definitely Hoover.

No one has mentioned Frank Tallman and the Duck,
awesome for what it was...

Time for my 3 cents worth inflation you know lol , in no particular order i cant seperate them because of ablility and styles Art Schole (sp) , Bob Hoover , Jimmy Franklin and Any current or former Blue Angles Pilot
Because they fly so close formation at such speeds so low with hi G and no g suites

Mr. Hoover #1, I just finished First Blue, Butch Voris. He must have been a great pilot, The Sanders Bros. Dennis and Brian Brian flew for Team America for sometime.

John H, thank you, I did not know that. I stop by the Sanders about 4 times a year, early September, is fun getting ready for Reno.
The Sanders and their staff are , and do some of the best rework around.
I can't remember where I say Team America fly, I think it was Hamilton Field, 1988?
Thanks again warbirds45

By the way...if you're going to throw out Team America, you have to include Chuck Lischer and Barney Register...who formed it with Frank.

And if you're going to SAY it, then you have to say it right....as in "YOUR Team America".
