The Aero Experience was glad to see our friend Jerry "Jive" Kerby flying the RV-8A Wild Blue in the daily airshows at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2016. Jive put the modified homebuilt through its paces in fighter pilot style, flying precision classic aerobatic maneuvers while leaving a healthy trail of white smoke. 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: The 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!"
