JACKSON, MI – Pilots from all around the Midwest and Canada flew, free falled and flipped over Jackson this weekend. The pilots were competing in the annual Michigan Aerobatics Open 2012 at Jackson County Airport, 3606 Wildwood Ave., in Jackson.
The competition is put on by the International Aerobatic Club (IAC). Christian Smith, an 18-year-old from Midland, made his first aerobatics flight Saturday morning.
"This is the first step to getting some aerobatic work," Smith said. Smith, who graduated this spring from Midland Dow High School, is heading to University of North Dakota with hopes of being a member of their aerobatic team.
The team has won four consecutive national championships in the U.S. National Aerobatic Contest.
