Dave Dacy and Tony Kazian - Two Legendary Performers, Two Outstanding Performances!
Veteran Airshow Pilot and ICAS ACE, Dave Dacy in the cockpit of the Super Stearman provides you with an incredible, show center, aggressive display of the very best in barnstorming aerobatics in his own self-styled routine. There are no parachutes, no safety cables, and no nets, as Wingwalker Tony Kazian boards the Super Stearman biplane for an unbelievable performance on and about the wings of the aircraft. In the spirit of the great wingwalkers, most notably his mentor and father, Johnny Kazian (Airshows Hall of Fame), Tony's 'one of a kind' daring performance on the aircraft, coupled with Dave's expertise in the cockpit, continue to headline the performer line-up and captivate the attention of media, sponsors, and airshow attendees
-- always a 'front page' performance.
