Greg Koontz
Greg Koontz learned to fly in 1969 getting his Private Pilot Certificate when he turned 17 years old. In his senior year in high school, Greg restored a 1946 Piper J-3 Cub in his mother's garage and flew the antique plane for 300 hours to gain experience for a flying career. Before turning 18, he sold his Piper Cub, using the money to take lessons for his commercial pilot certificate and all the pilot ratings he would need to pursue the pilot profession.Well before that birthday, Greg was working as a flight instructor and attending Business College at the University of Montevallo in Alabama.

Red Thunder Air Show Team
Team Red Thunder can display a variety of maneuvers that include a mix of precision formation flying and exciting solo aerobatic routines. You will enjoy the ballet of the aerial precision and you will be stunned by the dominance of these former eastern block airplanes. Some of the formations demonstrated by the Red Thunder Pilots are formation take-offs, finger tip flight, the opposing pass, and their signature the “Delta Diamond Starburst.” The wing tip distance between the aircraft during these formations is only about 3 to 4 feet. Regardless of how slow or how fast and airplane may be, anytime a pilot places his wingtip within 3 feet of another airplane, it requires extreme concentration, skill and hundreds of hours of practice.

Larry King - Pitts model 12
With the performance edge of almost One to One power to weight ratio, the airshow this aircraft can perform is truly awesome. There is no other airshow act operating this aircraft anywhere in the USA. From the extremely short take off roll of about 3 seconds in 300 feet to the blinding all out acceleration this aircraft will be at maximum forward speed while still over the runway. It does its entire airshow routine within the confines of any aerobatic box and stays directly in front of the crowd no matter how small the show line.

CC Gerner
As a world class freestyle skier, CC skied competitively throughout Europe and the United States establishing herself as a highly motivated and enthusiastic participant. That, along with her training in gymnastics and diving, made it only natural that, when introduced to aviation, she would gravitate to the high energy, adrenalin packed world of Unlimited Aerobatics. The skills derived from her early years as an athlete were ideally suited to Christine's new found ambition and it surprised no one when she progressed rapidly, earning her low altitude aerobatic waiver just six months into her training and now flying at the hair-raising Advanced and Unlimited levels.
