The Iron Eagle Aerobatic Team is One of The Most Exciting Team Flying The Circuit Today.
"Look for pilots Bill Segalla and Bill Gordon as they perform aerobatic routines in custom-built aircraft. After three years of work, these men transformed two sport-aerobatic airfrafts into single-seat Super Christen Eagle I Biplans. The men replaced the front seat with 30-gallon aerobatic fuel tanks and 25-gallon auxiliary containers to extend range and flying time. With these changes, the cruising speed of these special aircrafts at half power is 200 mph. Only four of these planes are flying in the country today."
"A dynamic team that flies challenging and close formations at a very fast pace. One of most exciting and dynamic flying teams on the airshow circuit today. From their crossfire takeoff to the switchblade hammerhead, their show will keep you on the edge of your seat. You won't believe their close maneuvers..." -CWI-FL.ORG
