Red Thunder - Formation Flight Demonstration Team

Big smoke, wonderful sounds of big radial engine airplanes, and the thrill of a hometown
fly-in is what you will experience when Red Thunder takes to the skies above DeFuniak
Springs. Spectators will get all this, plus precision formation flight demonstrations, when
the Red Thunder Team invades Marvel of Flight. This unique demonstration team
provides the general public a chance to experience these rare airplanes that only a few
years ago, would have been impossible to see in the United States.

                                                               The Red Thunder Team is a

                                                                These aircraft all have nine

                                                             and smoke trails with each pass

Barnstormer David Mars – Keeping History Alive

 David Mars wants to take you for a ride,
 up in the air and back in time. If you
 have ever wondered what 90 mph winds
 feel like while strapped into the front
 seat of an open-air cockpit antique
 double winged airplane, David Mars is
 your man. The self-proclaimed “old
 washed up barnstormer” will gladly take
 you above the tree line or around Lake
 DeFuniak doing lazy eight’s and wing
 overs in his red-and-blue 1929 Curtiss-
 Wright Travel Air biplane, a ride that can
 be best described as an old fashion
 roller coaster without tracks.

Mars,
 .      who lives in Madison, MS, has 15,000+ flight hours and has been selling rides in
vintage aircrafts since the 1970’s. Yet, it is not about the money or simply sharing the
thrill of flying, Mars is on a mission to share his passion for aviation history
