AirACES present "Flying and Displaying Vintage Piston AIrcraft"

Rod Dean is a familiar face to many of us, not only as a greatly valued patron of AirACES, but also as a superb speaker on many aspects of aviation. Rod is one of the most respected figures in aviation – not only as a hugely experienced display pilot, but also Flying Display Director and Flying Display Co-ordinator at numerous air shows.

This talk, “Flying and Displaying Vintage Piston Aircraft,” looks at his 40 years of display flying, with particular emphasis on classic vintage aircraft such as the Mustang, Hurricane, Spitfire, and many others. Highlights include some far-flung venues such as Sumburgh and displays in what had been East Germany and other parts of Europe. It also consists of a technical review of a number of the big piston engine fighters and concludes with a look back at several particularly memorable moments and events.
