Professional Airshow Performer: Skip Stewart
​Skip Stewart is best known for his high-energy aerobatics routine which includes very low and slow knife-edge passes. His performances most often involve transitioning into slow knife-edge flight immediately after take-off, followed by an outside-banked turn as he sets up for his routine. The performances themselves involve extreme positive and negative G maneuvers, utilizing the full performance and maneuvering envelopes of his aircraft. He is known for performing a double ribbon-cut, in which he slices the first (upper) ribbon with his aircraft's vertical tail while in inverted flight, and the second (lower) ribbon with his lower wing while in sustained knife-edge flight. Stewart's showmanship typically continues till the very end of his performances, as he lands on one wheel and then performs smoking doughnuts on the taxiway.

Professional Airshow Performer: Susan Dacy

Susan is one of only a few females performing airshows in a biplane, and is the only woman flying exhibition in the Super Stearman. Attending airshows as a child, Susan remembers being in awe of the big, loud, smoky biplanes.  As a teenager, yearning to fly, Susan felt the only way to fly a Stearman was to have one of her own.  At the family airport, located inHarvard, Illinois, Susan worked in the office, fueled planes, and eventually acquired a rebuildable Stearman Project.  While in high school, every spare hour was spent restoring the aircraft, which she still owns and operates today.
