Why isn't S.S at Airventure? I personally think he puts on one of the best aerobatic shows anywhere.
I hope it isn't because of his affiliation with "Dodge".
Your thoughts?

If you have never heard of Skip Stewart then you should look him up.Quote:

Yes, all of the time as a matter of fact. If you'll notice, I am usually one of the handful on here that isn't simply griping about how much the EAA sucks.Quote:

I just asked what set him apart from his colleagues in your opinion. That's not a negative statement but rather just a question. I was looking for your thoughts on the subject since I've never seen him in person and I'm writing from my phone so I can't pull up videos very readily.
Did you ask Skip Stewart? To my knowledge the acts at Airventure are all volunteer and are uncompensated by Airventure/EAA (other than a few perks for the show).
That's enough to keep a lot of acts away (especially those without name sponsors who will pay their way).
I've never heard of him either, but it looks like he has performe at Sun-n-fun for at least the last two years. As far as I know, all the airshow acts are still unpaid for the show. So, maybe he can only afford to donate one free show a year. (Looks like he is doing a Canadian tour during Oshkosh anyway)
Skip made his first Oshkosh appearance 2 years ago I believe. Flew the first 2 days and then moved on. I rememeber yelling to him "It's about time!" when he drove past after his performence. That got a great response from him! Prior to that, Skip wasn't being asked to come for several reasons that I won't go into here. That was back in the days when he was flying with Jim LeRoy. And yes, sometimes performers don't come because they do need to make money and flying at Oshkosh for the week makes them miss that opportunity elsewhere. For anyone who hasn't seen Skip fly, once you have, you'll always rememeber his name!
