2006 Dawson Creek Air Show - Tourism Dawson Creek

Twilight Performance

The 2006 Dawson Creek Air Show promises to be an evening of excitement. On July 26, 2006 Dawson Creek will be host to several internationally renowned aerobatic acts with Canada 's own Snowbirds as the feature act.

While every Third Strike Act has two distinct maneuvers; a take off and a landing. It's what comes between them that will impress you. Carol Pilon is presently the only wingwalker in Canada performing on the North American air show circuit where she has the privilege to awe senses, captivate hearts, enthrall imaginations and inspire dreams

See Ken Fowler and his Harmon Rocket! The aircraft's empty weight is only 1146 lbs, which gives it excellent high-speed aerobatic performance and awesome vertical performance. This Harmon Rocket will outperform all such aircraft going vertical. This is the only Harmon Rocket on the air show circuit and not to be missed!

You will be entertained by Kent Pietsch in his 1942 Interstate Cadet and flies a comedy act, which includes extreme maneuvers, such as the aileron falling off in mid air, a dead stick (total power off) aerobatic routine from an altitude of 6,000 feet. The finale of this performance includes Kent landing in front of the crowd and placing the spinner into the hand of an individual! Kent has thrilled and entertained crowds with this unique act.
