After being cancelled last year, the 2014 Rhode Island Air National Guard Open House and Air Show will be the debut show for the Screamin’ Sasquatch.
The Screamin’ Sasquatch is a refurbished aircraft from 1929. It is a biplane that has a 300 horsepower engine attached to the bottom.
Pilot Jeff Boerboon says the plane will be making its world debut at the show.
“This is a new program for the John Klatt Airshows” said Boerboon. He says it took 12 months to put the plane together and it has been airborne for only 4 months.
Throughout the performance Boerboon will take the Screamin’ Sasquatch though various loops and turns and at times he will appear out of control.
“What’s fun for us is we get to be out here in front of tens of thousands of people and they all wonder how its totally out of control even though we know we’re in control of the airplane,” said Boerboon.
The 2014 Rhode Island Air National Guard Open House and Air Show will take place on May 17 and 18 rain or shine.
