Louis Horschel 
Louis has been an avid pilot for his whole life, flying with his father on a grass strip on their farm in Western New York since childhood. He soloed in a Citabria and still flies his Scout off that same strip today! Louis flies many types of planes, his favorite is flying aerobatic demonstrations in the WW2 fighters, the P51 Mustang “Mad Max” and the Corsair.
Louis flies the Lead for the JackAces Formation Aerobatic Team. He is also an assistant manager of the Navy’s “Navy Legacy Flight” program. Flying his FG1D Corsair leading formation flight profiles for Airshows with the EA18 Growlers, F18 Rhino’s and the F35C, “it is a great honor for me to be able to fly in the Navy’s Legacy Flight Program” we owe everything to our Military veteran’s past, present, and future.
Ariel Luedi 
Ariel lives in Switzerland and commutes to the US for the training and airshows. Ariel worked as skydive instructor for many years but came late to flying himself. It all started 2008 with the purchase of a Bucker Jungmann bi-plane from the 1930s with which he participated in aerobatic competitions. Later he acquired a Sukhoi 29 & 26 and won 2012 the Swiss Aerobatic Nationals in the Advanced Category. Over the years he added a Bucker Jungmeister, an L-39C, Lockheed Electra 12A and a Pilatus PC-7 (similar to the Texan II) to his collection of planes. He is also the number 2 of the Swiss based 3-ship team SUBITO all flying the Pilatus PC-7.

He graduated Royal Military College in 2001 and earned his RCAF pilot wings in 2004. He served as a military instructor pilot, standards officer and as a course director at 2 CFFTS in Moose Jaw, SK.

Marco left the RCAF in 2011 and began his commercial flying career. He is currently serving as a production test pilot for a major aircraft manufacturer.
Marco’s passion for vintage aviation has stayed with him throughout his career.
