BIG Noise, BIG Smoke, Big Aircraft

Performers who engage with the crowd

Flights for VIPs, Sponsors, and Media

WTA performs formation and opposing aerobatics in WWII era T-6/SNJ aircraft that have great physical presence that excites the crowd.  We are more than twice the size of most airshow aircraft, bringing incredibly distinctive radial engine sound coupled with  big & beautiful smoke.
 
TWILIGHT AIRSHOWS have exciting LED lighting mounted in the engine cowling, on the wingtips and a fiery effect illuminated on the smoke trail.
 
After our performance we bring unique “baseball style” cards to the spectators line and engage for pictures, questions & promotion.
 
BONUS:  Warbird Thunder can provide a single ship performance or an opening teaser act.  We can also “Circle The Jumpers”during the opening ceremony as well as “race” cars and jet-trucks.
