If you’ve ever been to an airshow in Australia lately, chances are you’ve seen this man in action—pushing his Wolf Pitts to its limits, delivering precision aerobatics, displaying pristine warbirds and putting on a show with his team that leaves crowds absolutely speechless.

But behind those displays is a lifetime of work… from the early days of learning to fly, to mastering aerobatics, building one of the most impressive warbird fleets in the country, and performing on some of the biggest stages in the world—including EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.

We’ll talk about what really goes into an aerial display, the reality of running an airshow, and importantly, we’ll talk about legacy… flying alongside his son Jett, and what the future looks like.

This is a great conversation with a true professional of the industry.
