“Along with the 15 other members of the Red Baron Squadron’s team inducted, and its hardworking maintenance staff, I’m thrilled that the Red Baron Squadron’s flying efforts in front of millions of fans over the years have been recognized”, said Randall Brooks. In addition to his Red Baron Squadron involvement Mr. Brooks also flew airshows as a solo performer, as a member of a four-ship Pitts Special aerobatic team, a two-ship glider act, and last performed at Oshkosh in 2008 demonstrating the Eclipse Concept Jet single engine prototype. In all, Brooks’ airshow career spanned over ten years with over 500 surface level aerobatic demonstrations. Randall now manages Upset Prevention and Recovery Training flight operations for one of four APS global training centers in Arlington, Texas with two Extra 300L aircraft and multiple Level D jet aircraft simulators. www.apstraining.com
