Well death-defying feats high up in the sky,
aircraft acrobats can take your breath away with the most outrageous maneuvers,
whether it be loops, spins or spectacular formations.
Here's a story of a magnificent man and woman in their flying machines.
Yeah baby! Rock 'n' roll!
They're crazy.
It's pretty intense.
They push the envelope to the limit.
My name is Sean D. Tucker and I'm a 21st century barnstormer.
My name is Debby Rihn-Harvey. I'm the current U.S. national aerobatic champion.
We are in Oshkosh, Wisconsin...
...which is the greatest aerial spectacle above the earth.
My passions are aviation. Probably think about it 24 hours a day.
I like to dance in the sky. I like to take my airplane and tumble it and twirl it and spin it.
I'm not a full-time air show pilot. I'm a full-time airline pilot.
I do air shows and competition for fun.
Three hundred miles an hour, divin' into the arena, it is a phenomenal experience.
You're amazing, man.
Well, thanks.
Most people go to an air show and they look up and they see this airplane tumbling through the sky,
they really think it's some guy doin' that.
I really enjoyed that. Thank you.
Well good. Well thank you.
How do we let them know that hey, this isn't a guy? Anybody can do this.
Any little short lady can do this.
You were absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much.
Thank you!
Hey, awesome flight. Beautiful flight. Nice to meet you.
Excellent flight.
I try to feel the audience['s] energy.
It just makes me giggle to be here, and seeing you guys down there.
I try to tell girls that they can do it.
I'm enthusiastic about what I do and they know it
and it brings them into the act and makes them excited about what's goin' on.
This is serious business. This is not something that I take lightly.
I'm not allowed to have a bad day.
We practice. We emphasize safety.
I absolutely wear a parachute. I absolutely wear a parachute.
I take aerobatics very seriously. It's absolutely, thoroughly enjoyable.
You see these little kids with their eyes are so big, and you see the incredible joy.
It's a wonderful feeling.
That was fun! That was really fun!
