Kent Pietsch fell in love with flying when he was four years-old. Five decades later, his passion has not waned.
Since 1973, Kent has performed his incredible aerobatic routines for millions of people at more than 400 shows that have taken him to quality venues throughout the United States. He flies an 800 pund Interstate Cadet with a 37-foot wingspan. The palne's horizontal opposed four-cylinder engine can generate 90 horsepower and a G-force rating from -5 tp +5/
Kent loves to fly, but the audience is always his number-one priority. "If you can't enterain, you have no business being out there," he said. "The gratification is in knowing that people are enjoying themselves." Kent's humble nature and willingness to interact with fans makes him a crowd favorite whenever he performs. [Program]
