Champion Provides The Spark
Visitors to Lakeland will have the opportunity to greet some of
their favorite performers at the Champion Aerospace Booth. Kirby
Chamblis, Patty Wagstaff, Michael Goulian and the Aeroshell
Aerobatic Team will all be making appearances over the next several
days at booth B-020 just inside the southwest end of the
building.
Patty Wagstaff will be there to greet the crowd on Thursday the
14th from 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. She is an experienced pilot who flies
in front of millions of people per year. She is a three-time U.S.
National Aerobatic Champion and is based in Saint Augustine,
Florida.
Kirby Chamblis will be at the Champion booth Friday 12:00 to
12:30 p.m. He'll also be there Saturday and Sunday from 10:45 to
11:15 a.m. He is the captain of the US Aerobatics team, and has won
the National Aerobatics Championship four times. He stays in shape
for competitions by performing regularly at air shows around the
world.
Michael Goulian will also be on location Friday from 12:00 to
12:30 p.m. and Saturday from 10:45 to 11:15 a.m. He grew up around
aviation, and in 1990 he became the youngest pilot to become the
National Advanced Aerobatic Champion. He is the president of
Executive Flyers Aviation (EFA) located in Bedford, MA. He spends
much of his time there when he is not flying at Air shows.
The Aeroshell Aerobatic Team will be at Champion Friday from

be there along with Steve Gustafson and Gene McNeely. The team
