Team Member Since: 2005 For nearly 30 years and 10,000 hours, Dick has found his calling in the cockpit of numerous military and civilian aircraft. After graduating from the University of North Dakota's school of Business as well as their prestigious Flight Department, he earned his wings in the service as a U.S. Navy Pilot and later attended Naval Post Graduate School to become an Aviation Safety Officer. Dick used his military training as a springboard for tackling hard core aerobatics. While competing nationally in the top tier of Advanced pilots, he decided to supplement his aerobatic education by ultimately earning the titles of both a National and Chief Judge. It wasn't long before he became an established aerobatic coach refining the skills of U.S. Advanced World Team members. His work as a coach and judge eventually resulted in national recognition. Dick was presented the prestigious Harold E. Neumann Award for chief judging excellence, a trophy which is on permanent display at EAA headquarters in Oshkosh, WI. Equipped with the practical experience and thorough understanding of exactly what produces a thrilling show performance, Dick flies aerobatic demonstrations that utilize innovation and imagination to make each presentation as fresh and original as possible. These are the same traits that dictate not just the flight performances of Blue Sky's pilots, but our business and marketing strategies as well. Dick designed and developed the corporate management structure at Blue Sky Aerosports to capitalize on the staff's experience, knowledge and strengths. His priorities focus on smoothly integrating creative marketing campaigns with effective promotional techniques for sponsorship and property alliances that are second to none. Team Member Since: 2005 Airplane: Staudacher S-300 Since 1985 Mike has been immersed in numerous aviation projects while first learning to fly precision aerobatics from his grass strip in rural Minnesota. Acquiring his A&P and IA licenses, he has restored airplanes, rebuilt engines, and maintained critical components on high-performance aircraft. Mike's involvement with the International Aerobatic Club has led him to compete in the highest and most difficult levels of the sport, Advanced and Unlimited. His talent and ambition earned him a spot on the 2004 U.S. National Advanced World Aerobatic Team that competed in Ljungbyhed, Sweden where he placed in the top tier of the world's best aerobatic pilots. Mike is currently flying a world class Staudacher monoplane in the Unlimited category and performing aerial demonstrations in front of both judges and event crowds. His dedication to aerobatics has guided him to the air show arena while still maintaining a presence in the competition world as President of Minnesota's IAC Chapter 78. He's also an aerobatic judge, safety and technical inspector, and winner of the Lycoming Grassroots Award on permanent display at EAA headquarters. Along with being a Full Time Air Show Pilot, Mike is also Blue Sky's Director of Flight Operations. He supervises the Pilot Development Program and guides company training, coaching, and critiquing. He also coordinates staff flight operations, manages all maintenance issues, and is the company liaison to the FAA. Team Member Since: 2005
Airplane: Giles G-200 As a Competition and Air Show Demonstration pilot, Pete’s Rock n’ Roll style of aerobatics highlights his exacting flight precision with an array of complex and visually dynamic maneuvers. Flying a Giles G-200 composite monoplane, this world class aerobatic mount offers a fiery, unbridled performance envelope that delights an air show audience while pleasing the competition judges. One of the youngest rising stars in the industry, look for big things from Pete in the near future! Raised in northwest Ontario, Canadian Pete McLeod excelled when he transitioned from the rigors of a bush pilot to create his own aerobatic juggernaut. Pete was virtually born in the cockpit, taking his first flight while only a few weeks old. He earned his Private license at 17 years of age and his Commercial at 18. As a hardworking seaplane and bush pilot, Pete quickly logged nearly 1400 hours over Canada’s rugged interior. With a passion for speed and performance, he later became hooked on aerobatics, winning the first contest he entered and remaining undefeated for the entire following season. Pete’s energetic flying style reflects a disciplined combination of preparation, precision, and raw power. As a rising star in a new generation of aerobatic pilots, Pete recently received the coveted award of North American Collegiate Aerobatic Champion before graduating from the University of Western Ontario with an Economics degree. His sights are now set on making his mark in today’s thrilling world of aerosports while continuing to thrill crowds with unique and original air show performances.
