Fred Harl and Carmelo Turdo
http://www.airassociatesmo.com/tae/The Aero Experience continues our year-round EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2014 coverage, sponsored by Air Associates of Missouri and Air Associates of Kansas, with airshow performers Gene Soucy and Teresa Stokes.  Gene Soucy is a legend in aerobatics, having joined the U.S. Aerobatic Team at age 22, assisting the team in winning its first World Title.  He became three-time U.S. and Canadian National Champion, and began his airshow career in 1968.  Soucy flew Pitts S-1S, BD-4, Bellanca Decathlon, Piper Cub and Cessna 150 before the current Showcat (modified Grumman Ag-Cat) and Extra 300S.  He has flown with the Red Devil and Eagle Aerobatic Teams and has flown in many movie scenes as well.  Since 1988, most of his performances  have included Teresa Stokes, rated pilot and aviation artist whose wing-walking act has become the standard in the industry ever since.  Here are some views of Gene Soucy solo, with Teresa Stokes and solo night show in the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2014 airshows:
