Jive has flown a variety of aircraft in airshows, including the first Heritage Flight QF-4E season in 2005 as Commander of the 82nd Aerial Targets Squadron at Tyndall AFB, FL following extensive experience flying F-15s in active service. Since retiring from active duty in 2006, he has been involved with several high-profile aerobatic acts: Collings Foundation F-4D Phantom II, Black Diamond Jet Team Lead L-39, Trojan Horsemen Wing and Solo T-28, Team MS760 Morane-Saulnier MS760, and solo performances in many other types. It is no surprise that Jive calls his aerobatic RV-8A "Wild Blue," and when the crowds see it zip by they yell, "Fly, Jive, Fly!"
Jerry "Jive" Kerby and LM "Lunar" Sawyer are also featured in the newly released Fly Now! The Movie and Fly Now! Book:
The premiere of the Reality Aviation Documentary Fly Now! The Movie took place at the St. Louis Hi-Pointe Theater on October 17. The film chronicles the adventures of aviators from around the country as the movie crew and their trusty homebuilt Pietenpol aircraft travel from St. Louis to Lakeland, Florida, Oshkosh, WI and many places in between. After much hard work, the self-funded, independent film got its wings in front of a home-town audience. A limited amount of Fly Now! gear - T-shirts and caps, are now available at the Greater St. Louis Air & Space Museum.
