Air show aviator Matt Younkin joins Matt Jolley on this week’s Warbird Radio LIVE! Mr. Younkin is the masterful pilot who not only performs a breathtaking aerobatic routine in a World War II vintage cargo plane, but also regularly flies the Commemorative Air Force’s B-29 FIFI. Matt Younkin’s aerobatic demonstration in the Twin Beech (originally a USAAF AT-7C Navigator) continues the long family tradition of daring aerial demonstration, and has thrilled audiences both home and abroad. The evening routine is perhaps the most dramatic, as the graceful lines of his aircraft are traced against the lights of the night time sky. If you’ve never witnessed his flying prowess, then check his air show schedule HERE to find when he will be displaying near you. Younkin performed most recently at an air show in Panama City, Panama just over a week ago, so his season is already under way!
As usual the Warbirds News team will join Matt in the studio and talk about what’s happening.
Tune in and please do call with your comments or questions this Tuesday night (1/27/15) at 8pm (EASTERN).
