Aerostars Formation Aerobatic Team
Combining both precision formation and graceful aerobatics, there is never a moment the spectators are not totally captivated by the Aerostars thrilling demonstration. Performing in the Yak 52TW, a 400-hp Soviet Trainer, the Aerostars fly within a few feet of each other at speeds exceeding 250 mph. From graceful formation loops and barrel rolls to a break-away cross, bomb burst, and opposing passes, the Aerostars make formation aerobatics look effortless. A unique design of the Yak 52 allows the Aerostars pilots to perform sustained inverted maneuvers not possible in most other aircraft. The deep roar of three 9-cylinder radial engines singing in harmony and billowing smoke will surely bring crowds to their feet.

Pietsch Aircraft
Kent Pietsch in his 1942 Interstate Cadet, flies a comedy act, which includes extreme maneuvers, such as the aileron falling off in mid air!! In addition, Kent performs a dead stick (total power off) aerobatic routine from an altitude of 6,000 feet. The finale of this performance includes Kent landing in front of the crowd and placing the spinner into the hand of an individual!

In 1980, Warren Pietsch began to modify his 1946 Taylorcraft, reducing the wingspan 14 feet to become a Clipped-Wing Taylorcraft! He flies an aerobatic routine that is quick, precise and up close. Warren also flies high-energy aerobatics in a home built we call a Schnortenzummer@. The acts have a combination of classic and gyroscopic aerobatic maneuvers. Both acts will demand your attention and leave the crowd wanting more!!

FighterJets Inc.
Made famous by the Vietnam War, the MiG-17F was the primary enemy aircraft engaged in the skies over Vietnam by U.S. aircraft, such as the A-4,A-7, F-8, B-52, F-100, F-105 and its primary nemesis, the F-4 Phantom II. During that war and up until the F-16 entered service, it was the tightest-turning fighter in the world.When production started in the 1950s, its VK-1F engine made it one of the first production jet fighters in the world with an afterburner.

Greg Shelton Air Shows
The 1944 FM-2, officially called the ‘Wildcat’, was named the “Best Fighter Below 10,000 Feet” compared to the F6F, F4U, P-47, and P-51. The FM-2 was the most built and most powerful version of the Wildcats, often referred to as the “Wilder” Wildcat. Wildcats were the main Navy and Marine Corps fighter at the start of World War II and fought in all the major battles, including Wake Island, Guadalcanal, and Midway, until the Hellcat came along in 1943. The Wildcat is best known for its contribution to the Battle of Midway during World War II.

Vetsch Air Precision, Inc.
Ray Vetsch was born and grew up in Switzerland. He started flying gliders in the Alps at the age of 16. Ray Vetsch flew everything he could get his hands on from skydiving, hand gliding to crop dusters and put himself through medical school by flying tourist through the Alps. The incredible Eric Miller, multiple European champ put Ray on the right tract of aerobatics flying. Initially flying Citabria the super-decathlon, then moving up to the Pitts S2B. Ray entered the air show circuit with Wayne Handley's Pitts S1S and then moved up to the incredible SUKHOI. He flew them all but he has concluded that the SUKHOI is the toughest, most demanding, but also the best and most fun aircraft he ever sat in. Vetsch is involved in youth programs, ROTC, and schools to motivate our children to stay in school and remain drug free.

Dr. Vetsch is a Pediatric and Adult Heart Surgeon who works for Freeman Heart Hospital in Joplin, Missouri servicing the 4-State area.

Pacific Prowler
The North American B-25, Pacific Prowler, is one of just a handful of B-25s that still fly today. The B-25 Mitchell Bomber was made famous on the daring Doolittle Raid on Tokyo which took place four months after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. The B-25 Bomber went on to become the most versatile medium bomber of World War II, seeing combat in every theater of operation.

P-51 Heritage Flight w/F-15E and A-10
The USAF Heritage Flight program was established in 1997 to commemorate the Air Force's 50th anniversary. It involves today's state-of-the-art fighters flying in close formation with World War II, Korean and Vietnam era fighters such as the P-51 Mustang and the F-86 Sabre. The flight's mission is to safely and proudly display the evolution of U.S. Air Force airpower and to support the Air Force's recruiting and retention efforts. Click here to view their site

T-6
The T-6 originated from the North American NA-16 prototype (first flown on April 1, 1935) which, modified as the NA-26, was submitted as an entry for a USAAC "Basic Combat" aircraft competition in March, 1937. The first model went in to production and 180 were supplied to the USAAC as the BC-1 and 400 to the RAF as the Harvard I. The US Navy received 16 modified aircraft, designated the SNJ-1, and a further 61 as the SNJ-2 with a different engine.

C-47
The C-47 was vital to the success of many Allied campaigns, in particular those at Guadalcanal and in the jungles of New Guinea and Burma where the C-47 (and its naval version, the R4D) made it possible for Allied troops to counter the mobility of the light-traveling Japanese army. Additionally, C-47s were used to airlift supplies to the embattled American forces during the Battle of Bastogne. But possibly its most influential role in military aviation was flying "The Hump" from India into China. The expertise gained flying "The Hump" would later be used in the Berlin Airlift, in which the C-47 would play a major role, until being replaced by the C-54.

F-22 Raptor
The F-22 Raptor is the Air Force's newest fighter aircraft. Its combination of stealth, supercruise, maneuverability, and integrated avionics, coupled with improved supportability, represents an exponential leap in warfighting capabilities. The Raptor performs both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions allowing full realization of operational concepts vital to the 21st century Air Force.

The F-22A , a critical component of the Global Strike Task Force, is designed to project air dominance, rapidly and at great distances and defeat threats attempting to deny access to our nation's Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps. The F-22A cannot be matched by any known or projected fighter aircraft.

B-1 Lancer
The B-1b Lancer is a strategic bomber used by the United States Air Force. First envisioned in the 1960s as a supersonic bomber with sufficient range and payload to replace the B-52 Stratofortress, it developed primarily into a low-level penetrator with long-range and capable of supersonic speed. The design was canceled and reinstated multiple times over its lengthy development history, as the theory of strategic balance changed from flexible response to mutually assured destruction and back again. It eventually entered service more than 20 years after first being studied.
