TINSTIX, X-TEAM to launch in 2006

ICAS members Jim LeRoy and Rich Gibson will be teaming up with Lithuanian air show pilot Jurgis Kairys to offer Tinstix of Dynamite during the 2006 season. A unique blend of hard-core aerobatics and intricately choreographed, ground-based pyrotechnics, Tinstix will match one of the best air show pyrotechnics contractors with two of the most exciting air show pilots in the world.

In addition, both LeRoy and Gibson will continue to be involved with the X-Team as they offer “Tribute to the Masters” throughout the 2006 air show season. The Tribute, a shorter version of the “Masters of Disaster” act, will be offered until the new “MOD” is ready, according to X-Team member Jim LeRoy. The new Masters of Disaster act will be unveiled in 2007.

X-Team will continue to offer “Tribute to the Masters” in 2006. The Tribute, a shorter version of the “Masters of Disaster” act (MOD), will be offered until the new “MOD” is ready, according to X-Team member Jim LeRoy. The new “MOD” is planned for 2007.

A-10 Demonstrations are Back !

The much sought after, crowd pleasing "Wall of Fire" from Rich's Incredible Pyro has now been approved for use with the U.S. Air Force A-10 demonstration.

The "Wall of Fire" from Rich's Incredible Pyro has long been a favorite of spectators. The concussion and flash of heat can be felt through-out the airshow grounds and heard almost anywhere in the community.

You won't find people sitting down for this show. Young and old alike are pressed right up along the fence with cameras ready.

Rich's Incredible Pyro is proud to put "more bang for the buck" into the A-10 Demo.

Support our troops!
