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.
