TEAM CHAOS EXTREME AIR SHOWS presents… one of the Top Air Show Acts in the Nation… A n unbelievable performance involving two of the top aerobatic planes in the nation and the World’s Fastest Jet Powered Truck.In what appears to be a reckless deadly game of chicken the two dogfighting planes are flying at each other in all directions and diving thru the smoke generated by the fire breathing Jet Truck on the runway. The Chaos continues as the Show Finale develops into a Jet Truck Race with only one of the planes. In an obvious effort to spoil the Race, the other Pilot, in a jealous rage, comes from the opposite direction head on at a closure rate of over 400 miles per hour. They all meet at Show Center with what appears to be a Catastrophic Explosive Ending like you’ve never witnessed before. This Finale will “BLOW YOU AWAY”. Team Chaos members include Randy Harris in the Red, White & Blue BiPlane, Gary Ward in the Purple & Green MX-2 plane and Neal Darnell in the 12,000 Horsepower 375 mph Flash Fire Jet Truck. All three will also perform their INDIVIDUAL ACTS earlier in the show.
