Fair St. Louis 2013 Airshow Reprise: Jive and Rifle RV-8 Precision Aerobatics

http://aeroexperience.blogspot.com/As we prepare for the 2014 Midwest Aviation airshow season, The Aero Experience salutes the RV-8 team of Jerry "Jive" Kerby and Joe "Rifle" Shetterly by sharing some of our photos from Fair St. Louis 2013.  Our team descended on St. Louis Downtown Airport, located just a few miles flying distance from the St. Louis riverfront and the Gateway Arch, and captured the airshow performance from start to finish.  We combined our coverage of the solo and team performances in this extended photo essay.  Here's to a great airshow season for "Jive" and "Rifle" in 2014 from The Aero Experience Team: Carmelo Turdo, Mark Nankivil, Fred Harl and Leo Cachat.
