Nearly 1,600 air show professionals are currently gathered at
the International Council of Air Shows Convention in Las Vegas,
Nevada. To celebrate the 2009 ICAS Convention, Aero-TV is
profiling some of the most extraordinary air show performers
we’ve had the honor to meet over the last year.
At the 2009 NBAA Meeting & Convention, ANN’s Tom
Patton took the opportunity to speak to Captain Snodgrass and Lt.
Colonel Kerby about their preparation for the upcoming 2010 air
show season.
During the convention, the MS760 Corporation announced the
introduction of a new MS760 engineering and support program in
conjunction with the acquisition of the MS760 type certificate by
JetSet Aviation Holdings SAS. Admired for its ease of
maintenance and flight characteristics, the MS760 Paris Jet will be
the aircraft of choice for the new duo.
Debuting in the 2010 air show season, Team MS760 Aerobatics is
an all-new two-ship aerobatic formation jet team. While Team
MS760 is new to the air show circuit, the pilots are well
recognized in the aviation community; Captain Dale
“Snort” Snodgrass, United States Navy Retired, and Lt.
Colonel Jerry “Jive” Kerby, United States Air Force
Retired, are both decorated military veterans with thousands of
hours each in military jet aircraft.
In addition, both men have been key members of the USAF’s
Heritage Flight, a widely popular formation team that showcases the
military’s aircraft evolution over the years. Join
Aero-TV as we learn what it takes to transition from military
heavy-hitters, such as the F-14 Tomcat and F-15 Eagle, to the
world’s first very light jet.
