Meet the aircraft behind the airshow.
From historic replicas to modern drones, every aircraft turns flight, engineering, and perseverance into a lesson elementary students—primarily grades 2–5—can see in motion.
Thirteen ways to make flight unforgettable.
Explore every aircraft, drone, and control system featured in the Aircraft menu. Select a card for its story, specifications, and role in the show.
Indoor aerobatics
Twisted Hobbys
Light, durable aerobatic aircraft built to perform precisely inside even the tightest school gyms.
Opening stunt
Hacker Models PittsBull
A lightweight EPP biplane that waits inside the shark tank before launching the show with a countdown reveal.
Flight controls
RC Factory Synergy
A lightweight aerobatic aircraft that can fly slowly and precisely for the show’s flight-control demonstration.
Competition limbo
BDX Jet
A streamlined team-designed aircraft built to slip beneath the limbo ribbon with speed, precision, and control.
Aviation history
Wright Flyer III
A handcrafted four-channel replica brings the 1905 Flyer’s wing warping, structure, and pioneering control system into the gym.
World War II history
B-29 Superfortress
A four-engine foam model built by Nathan Myers makes World War II aviation design tangible for students.
High-speed racing
F-35 Racer
A Litespeed-built electric ducted-fan jet brings modern fighter design, speed, and precise control into the gym.
Cold War history
SR-71 Blackbird
A long, slender twin-fan model brings reconnaissance-aircraft design and the pursuit of speed into the gym.
Story in flight
Snoopy vs the Red Baron
World War I-inspired aircraft turn a familiar story into an engaging introduction to aviation history.
Aerial technology
Typhoon 4K Drone
Live video and a class photo show students how cameras, controls, and modern drone technology work together.
Signature stunt
Chick-Fil-A Drone
This custom quadcopter combines precision drone and airplane piloting in one of the show’s signature demonstrations.
First flight
Duet RTF Giveaway
A beginner-friendly trainer designed to make the dream of learning to fly feel close, practical, and possible.
Flight controls
Transmitters
The radio systems that connect pilot and aircraft make signals, control surfaces, and real-time decisions visible.
More than a collection of airplanes.
Each demonstration gives grades 2–5 students a clear way to connect an abstract idea with something real, moving, and memorable.
Aerodynamics in motion
Lift, drag, thrust, balance, and control become visible when an aircraft responds in real time.
Engineering students can see
Different materials, shapes, electronics, and design choices reveal how aircraft are built for a purpose.
Stories worth carrying forward
Aviation history and challenging maneuvers reinforce curiosity, practice, teamwork, and perseverance.
