Dan Buchanan’s Flying Colors
Dan was a New England home builder and flat-track motorcycle racer, and enjoyed the thrill of flying off mountain tops, when in 1981; he paralyzed his legs trying to land in stormy weather.
Despite his handicap, Dan returned to flying within six months, and since then his tenacity and adventurous spirit has allowed him to accrue more than 2,800 hours of flight time in hang gliders and sailplanes. Dan launches with his glider from atop a moving vehicle driving down the runway at about 30mph with the flag, streamers and bright orange smoke trailing. He steadily tow-climbs to an altitude of 1,200 -1,800' while speaking live via a radio link to the audience. Dan has received two showmanship awards from the air show entertainment industry: -"The Bill Barber Award for Showmanship" -"Special Achievement Award" from ICAS.

Freddie Cabanas - Solo Pitts and J3 Comedy
Cabanas Aerobatics has been doing airshows since 1986. The extremely low level routine pleases the crowd from the start with an inverted ribbon cut on takeoff followed by an outside loop. The entire show is performed beneath a max altitude of 1500 feet. At that altitude only for a few seconds before tumbling with lots of noise and smoke to perform many low level high speed maneuvers.

Rob Holland - Solo MX2 Routine
