Step back in time as she puts her 450 horsepower, Super Stearman, "Big Red" through its paces with a dazzling display of barrel rolls, slow, slow rolls, Cuban eights, hammerhead turns, loops and much more, in a style reminiscent of the barnstorming era of flying!

Craig’s performances, whether in his custom-built Staudacher S-300 or the Extra 330SC, reflect his deep passion for aerobatics.

Jody Graffunder:

Jody's journey from farm boy to flyer began with a childhood dream that took flight in 2012 when he earned his pilot's license in just 2 ½ months. He bought his first Yak 52 from a former airshow performer who also became his trainer. Despite early challenges like overcoming motion sickness during aerobatic maneuvers, Jody's dedication never wavered. Now based in Eau Claire, WI, he is one of the few pilots showcasing the Yak 52’s capabilities at airshows, turning his dream into a reality.
