High energy precision aerobatics are demonstrated by Dave as he includes gyroscopic tumbles, aerial cartwheels, knife edge spins, torque rolls, and much much more. Dave honors his dad by dedicating his performance to Ruben Windmiller.

My dad, he was the American dream. At 18 he came to this country with nothing but the clothes on his back. He fathered two sons and showed them that there is no dream they can't achieve. He was a fighter and a winner, and there was no such thing as quitting. My dream was to make the U.S. aerobatics team and after many years of hard work, this year will be my chance of fulfilling my dream, and I will do it all with dad in mind. My dad died on his way to Paris on TWA flight 800. This performance is dedicated to the greatest man I ever knew, Ruben Windmiller.
