Monadnock Aviation and the Fenton Family Dealerships have teamed up to present this year's Keene Aviation Day!

This year will bring air performers, parachute demonstrations, EAA Young Eagles flights for kids, helicopter rides, tethered
hot air balloon rides, many aircraft on display, radio controlled aircraft, and so much more. We will update the site with
the day's schedule and featured performer's as plans firm up.

See more information about the scheduled acts and performers below.


THIRD STRIKE WING WALKING - Third Strike Website
        
Most airshow performers prefer to stay in their aircraft unless they have on a parachute, not Carol Pilon. Being of Canadian origin, Carol Pilon is presently
the only wingwalker of her native country performing on the North American circuit where she has the privilege to captivate hearts, enthrall imaginations and inspire dreams. Imagine an airplane looping and rolling with beautiful Carol on the wing. It is a sight you will not soon forget.
   
 
 
  



DAN MARCOTTE - Dan Marcotte's Website
  
              Dan is a racer turned aerobatic champ. In 2003 he took fourth in the Formula One Bronze Class at the Reno Air Races.               
 
 
 
       Before Dan was flying aerobatics he was racing the Cassutt IIIM. In 2003 he "flew away" with 4th Place in the Formula One Bronze Class at Reno.  The Cassutt is a high speed monoplane designed especially for racing, making Dan's aerobatic demonstrations in it truly unexpected!  The Super AcroSport is a classic biplane, complete with smoke for traditional barnstorming excitement. Dan especially enjoys working with young people, explaining basic flight and aerobatic principles, and offers these opportunities with every air show booked.
 


KIRK WICKER - Stearman Act & Cub Comedy Act - Kirk Wicker's Website
          

                                Kirk has been flying both competition and airshows since 1985!                                 
   
    Since 1985, Kirk has been the East Coast Aerobatic Champion, placed at the International Aerobatic Club Championships, and has won numerous other regional aerobatic contests as well. With over 250 airshows under his belt, Kirk is one of the few pilots in the United States that holds a surface waiver to fly airshow performances in ANY single engine land aircraft. This being so, Kirk has entertained thousands of excited airshow spectators in various aircraft from the J-3 Cub to the CAP-21. Kirk's even entered a few races against Les Shockley and his jet powered truck the SHOCKWAVE! Performing an average of 30 airshows a year, Kick has never had to cancel a single scheduled performance due to mechanical failures. This is due to the fact that all Kirk's aircraft are impeccably maintained. At the altitudes that his acts are flown, Kirk can not and will not accept anything less than perfection. For many years, Kirk has been a regular performer at the Flying Circus of Bealeton, Virginia. Not only flying high performance low level aerobatic routines, but also thrilling the crowds with his stock J-3 Cub.
 
 

EAA YOUNG EAGLES FLIGHTS FOR KIDS - Young Eagles Website

What is EAA Young Eagles?
The EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to
give interested young people, ages 8 - 17, an opportunity to go
flying in a general aviation airplane. These flights are offered
free of charge and are made possible through the generosity
of EAA member volunteers.

Since 1992, more than 1.5 million Young Eagles have
enjoyed a flight through the program. Young Eagles have
been registered in more than 90 different countries and
have been flown by more than 42,000 volunteer pilots.




Have you ever wondered what your neighborhood looks like from the sky? Stop wondering and start flying!
If you are between 8 and 17 years old, the EAA wants to offer you the chance of a lifetime!
Turn your dreams into reality on a free young eagles flight!



TETHERED HOT AIR BALLOON RIDES - High Five Ballooning, Visit the website

 What is a tethered balloon ride?
A tethered balloon ride is when the balloon is tied to the ground with three or four very strong ropes to keep the
balloon from flying away. This allows us to lift and "fly" a large group of people of all ages at a specific location.

How high will you fly?
Tethered flights usually fly between 25 feet and 100 feet. The exact height is determined by a number of factors
including wind, terrain, location, anchor points, number of passengers, etc. The pilot will determine the exact
height according to conditions at the time of the event.
