EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2013: Gene Soucy and Teresa Stokes in the Showcat

Fred Harl and Carmelo Turdo

Legendary airshow team Gene Soucy and Teresa Stokes continues to entertain audiences around the country with their aerobatic wing-walking show.  Soucy has a legendary reputation for unique airshow performances in a variety of aircraft (besides being an aerobatic world champion), including the modified Grumman Ag Cat he has flown with Teresa Stokes since 1988.  The Showcat airshow experience includes great visual effects with the aircraft's bright patterned paint scheme and billowing white smoke during the slow, looping maneuvers accompanied by the rumbling radial engine.  The following sequence from EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2013 gives a preview of what we can look forward to this year.
