Darrel Massman - Show and competition aerobatics in Panzl 330.
It’s been 34 years since air show and competition aerobatic pilot Darrel Massman took his first flying lesson at the age of 16. Since then he has logged over 6000 hours of flying time in over 65 different models of aircraft, including J-3 cubs, DC-3’s, King Airs, Saber liner and Citation jets, and helicopters. I like anything that flies. Lesson number 4 in initial flight training was doing spins. I knew at that time aerobatics was for me. Over the years Darrel trained with air show masters Marion Cole, and Jim Leroy learning not only the fine art of aerobatic maneuvers and energy management, but learning that safety is first. Prior to each practice, competition, or air show flight, all components of the aircraft from gas caps to seat belts are carefully checked. After the aircraft inspection all details to weather are carefully observed including winds, ceilings, temperature and dew points. Every single 10-minute flight requires almost 2 hours of preparation. |

For the past 10 years the pilots of the Scream’n Rebel Airshow Team have honored our Veterans by attending events and airshows throughout the Midwest. The four aircraft are vintage planes build and used during WWII. They are individually owned, maintained and flown by their dedicated pilots. The Team performs two different types of acts:
The Scream’n Rebel Formation Demo Team performs an exciting show for the airshow audience. Their entire aerial display is tight, done within the airport boundary keeping the action close. Massive amounts of smoke erupt as these large Warbirds are put through their paces. As you watch you will experience rejoins, diamond photo passes, simulated strafing runs and the classic “finger four” formation made famous by our fighters of WWII. The show concludes with the exciting “Fan Break” from a close trail just before landing. The Team performs many of the precision maneuvers that are seen during a Military formation airshow as these formations are the same ones taught to both the veterans of WWII as well as our modern day air forces. All Team aircraft have historic paint schemes and are flown by very experienced pilots.
The T-6 Warbird Aerobatic Routine consists of 15 minutes of the roar and splendor of the “Texan” doing what it does best. Demonstrated are Rolls, Immelmann turns, and other fighter maneuvers taught to our pilots during World War II. Also included are crowd pleasing Hammerhead turns, Cuban eights, and Vertical rolls all accompanied by massive amounts of smoke and noise. This routine is spectacular; the T-6 “Texan” is a large Warbird, noisy, and historically significant. The aircraft is an Oshkosh award winner and has the markings of a Forward Air Control (FAC) aircraft used in the Korean War. Its authentic nose art contains a snake and the words “Scream‘n Rebel” and “Don’t Tread On Me”. The T-6 was designed as a trainer for future combat pilots and does a great job of entertaining the airshow public both on the ground and in the air. It’s ATP rated pilot received training as a USAF Fighter Pilot, has over 15,000 flight hours and a FAA Low Altitude Waver. It’s a great act that honors both the WWII as well as the Korean War Veterans. |
