The Sierra Aces Aerobatic Team fly a dynamic aerobatic routine with red, white and blue Pitts S-2B aircraft. The team's precision formation, opposing, and separate maneuvers in unison are guaranteed to please the crowd.

Ranging in speeds from stand-still to 200 mph, and flying tight formations with their wing-tips overlapping, the Sierra Aces consistently thrill air crowds, young and old alike.
