Charlie Kulp to Fly Again July 18, 2010
Charlie Kulp is known throughout the airshow community as "The Flying Farmer". Until his retirement in 2007, he had been thrilling crowds as Silas Hicks, a country farmer who recklessly takes to the skies in a Piper J-3 Cub. Charlie puts his J-3 through maneuvers he's been quoted as saying the airplane "won't do". It's a family-friendly performance sure to impress anyone who sees it.
Charlie has announced that he will be coming out of retirement to make a special performance in honor of the Flying Circus Airshow's 40th anniversary, and also to help raise funds for the development of a new museum showcasing the history and collections of the Flying Circus.
