"This is already an outstanding all-star air show line-up and we're just getting started," said Rick Larsen, EAA's vice president of communities and member programs, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions. "There are returning performers, new air show acts and particular aircraft connected with specific events and anniversaries. We'll be adding more exciting acts and performances in the coming weeks that will again make the nine air shows during AirVenture week unforgettable."

Among the returning performers and aircraft already on the schedule include:

CHUCK AARON (HELICOPTER AEROBATICS) …ERIC EDGREN (T-CLIPS) …KYLE FOWLER (RUTAN LONG-EZ)

Kyle Franklin, son of late air show legend Jimmy Franklin, was destined for the sky the moment he was born. He began flying at age 8 in a Piper Super Cub and by age 14, he performed his first wing walk. At 17 he was wing-walking professionally for his father. In addition to crawling out of the cockpit and dangling from airplanes, Kyle started his own piloting career performing in air shows at age 21.

SKIP STEWART (PITTS S2S PROMETHEUS)

Prometheus the flying machine is part Pitts Special and the rest is the vision of Skip Stewart. Starting life as a Pitts S-2S, Prometheus was modified to give Skip the airshow machine he wanted. This flying machine looks like a good old American hot rod. The horsepower was increased to 400, the big three bladed prop reminds you of oversized racing slicks, the rear canted landing gear makes it look fast sitting on the ground and the paint job yells "street rod." Climb rate 4000 FPM. Max speed 300 MPH. Stall speed 58 MPH. Empty weight 1146 LBS. Range 405 miles
