Experience the awe of Time Flies, bringing two extraordinary acts to the skies.

Mario Hamel showcases aerobatics in the H101 Salto Sailplane one of only a couple of glider performers in North America. A former Canadian Forces Snowbird pilot, Mario’s career has been defined by precision, discipline, and a relentless passion for flight. With his H101 Salto Sailplane, he captivates audiences by transforming silent elegance into breathtaking aerobatic displays, inspiring a profound appreciation for the beauty and legacy of glider planes. The Nanchang CJ6, piloted by Dan Fortin, transitions from a tow plane for the Salto into a dynamic aerobatic performance.  With over 11,000 flight hours and a deep passion for aviation, Dan seamlessly provides switches from towing the glider to a captivating solo aerobatic display.
