The Aerostars are a precision aerobatic team whose aerial ballet captivates air show audiences large and small. They fascinate the crowd with a combination of graceful aerobatics flown in tight formation, spectacular breakaways followed by breath-taking opposing passes and awe-inspiring inverted maneuvers. 

The team performs in the Yak-52 TW, a former Soviet designed, Romanian built, WWII-type aerobatic trainer.  The deep roar of their 400 horsepower, supercharged, nine cylinder radial engines singing in harmony is a true crowd pleaser.  The Aerostar’s performance is the embodiment of teamwork, professionalism, and commitment to excellence.
