The Greater Cincinnati Flying Circus
Show Team is an AMA Charted Show Team number 9-169. Our show
team consists of all GCRCC members. In 2005 we presented nine
shows -- both static and flying. Flying shows included the
Flying Circus, Blue Ash Air Show and
Grissom Air Museum Festival of
Flight. 2006 will be another busy year.
Jim Dimitt was the founding
manager. Richard Kuns is the current manager. Tom Burtin
is the vice manager and announcer.
More information on AMA show teams
can be found at their web site.
Besides the show, the team has
several construction projects underway. Jim Dimitt is leading
the construction of a full and third scale Pteranodon. A
consortium of team members including Chuck Snyder, Barry Langefeld
and Richard Kuns is constructing a replacement third scale Morane
Saulnier A1.
To schedule a show or for more
information, please contact the team
manager.
FAST TRAC Certification
Fight Assessment Standards Test To Rate Aero Flight Competency
Starting in 2006 all show team
members must have AMA FAST TRAC Certification. Both a written
and flight test are required. The written test covers the AMA
Show Team Guidelines and the AMA National Model Safety Code.
Links to the documents are below. Please contact the team
manager to arrange a flight test. FAST TRAC Certification is
good for three years. All pilots and ground crew working at
the Circus north of the spectator line should have this
certification.
