REDEAGLE AIR SPORTS IS A NATIONALLY RENOUN TWO SHIP FORMATION AEROBATIC TEAM. DON’T MISS THIS EXCITING ACTION, ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY…..

Providing a singular blend of low-level precision formation and solo aerobatics with fascinating transitions, Red Eagle Air Sports is nationally known for its eye-popping, spectacular performances. Prepare to witness inverted flat spins, inside and outside loops, multiple snap rolls, tail slides, torque rolls, plus our signature maneuvers: the Torqued Eagle, Topcoat This, the Squirrel Cage, The Centrifuge, The Farvel Loop and the Tuck-Under Break.

Flying the Red Eagle and one-of-a-kind Talon Eagle, Buck Roetman and Dan McClung demonstrate the awesome power of these highly-modified aerobatic aircraft.

Team lead Dan McClung harnesses the raw power of the Talon Eagle to push the aircraft to its performance envelope. Dan completed over 21 years of active and reserve flying for the U.S. Navy before retiring as a Commander. Dan has accumulated more than 22,000 hours of flying, a remarkable achievement considering that he completed nearly 400 day and night aircraft carrier landings in the A7 Corsair. His last tour included working with the famed Top Gun school as an aggressor pilot, flying the A-4 Skyhawk before his career as a pilot for a major airline. After 25 years of airline flying, Dan retired as a 767 Captain in 2004. Dan is an ACE, an Air Show Competency Evaluator, appointed by the International Council of Air Shows. His responsibilities include evaluating other air show performers for safety, compliance and competence. Dan’s many hours of physical conditioning, desire to excel, discipline and practice in the air results in an air show that is both captivating and innovative. Dan’s dream is to make everyone watching his performance feel the fun, excitement and passion that he has for flying and entertaining YOU ALL.

At the controls of the Red Eagle is Buck Roetman who combines his passion for flying and years of experience in the air to captivate audiences nationwide. Born in Anchorage, Alaska but raised in Minnesota, Buck cut his teeth in motor racing and building high-performance race cars. Buck holds nearly every FAA rating from Airline Transport Pilot to Airframe & Powerplant mechanic. Buck specializes in systems and structure fabrication to keep the team and the Eagles in the air. He is also an ACE appointed by the International Council of Air Shows. His goal is to inspire others with his gifts and talents in aviation. When he’s not building aircraft parts, instructing or coaching wrestling, Buck is the chief pilot for a charter operator, Precision AvJet.

Dan and Buck lead the way on the Red Eagle team, recognizing that the talent to build and fly airplanes that entertain like this comes from a higher authority! Their mission? To use their God-given talents and opportunities to challenge, inspire and motivate others to excel in everything they do.
