Younkin Airshows
- Matt Younkin

Matt Younkin is a third generation pilot. He is the son of Bobby Younkin who is considered to be one of the greatest airshow pilots of all time. Matt learned to fly at the age of 14 in a Piper J-3 Cub. At age 15, the same instructor who taught Bobby how to fly, refined Matt’s piloting skills. On his sixteenth birthday, Matt soloed his grandfather’s 1928 Travel Air 4000 biplane. Matt to date has flown over 85 different types of airplanes ranging from the Piper Cub to the Boeing B-29. He is also a fully rated flight instructor, and has over 5,000 hours of total flying time.

Erik Edgren Airshows
- Erik Edgren

Erik can’t remember his first airplane ride…because he wasn’t born yet! He began “training” at the age of 6, sitting on his father’s lap and flying on instruments. Erik was ready for solo at the age of 8 through the use of a tailor-made seat and control extensions. At age 10, he learned spins, which sparked his lifelong passion for aerobatics. He has flown more than 6,000 hours in over 180 different makes and models of aircraft. Erik is a full-time airshow performer and semi-retired farmer, living on the same farm the original settlers log cabin was built… now with a grass runway and airshow practice box!
