EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2014: Rex Pemberton

Fred Harl and Carmelo Turdo

EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2014 included some very unique aerial performances, one of which featured Rex Pemberton flying his wingsuit and landing by parachute within feet of the show line press box.  This is but one of many aerial entertainment activities provided by Rex Pemberton and Melissa Pemberton of Pemberton Aerosports.  Rex Pemberton also incorporates his extreme adventure activities into media productions and corporate leadership programs for his company, RPMP.  After landing, he was good-natured about posing with the wingsuit after removing the smoke canister!
