Planes and Pilots
The below planes are only those flying in the DAY & NIGHT airshows and do not include all static displays. *2025 full lineup coming soon!

Millions of people throughout the world see the Golden Knights each year, at over 70 demonstration sites across the nation and abroad. These Army ambassadors perform precision free-fall demonstrations to connect the Army with people in towns who rarely, if ever, see a Soldier. These men and women, of the Black and Gold Demonstration Teams, tell their Army story to all they meet to increase the propensity to join the all volunteer force. Preparation for the demonstration itself begins hours prior to the performance. The aviation detachment (Team Six) prepares the aircraft for takeoff, smoke is rigged, flags packed, weather checked and media briefs are given to the media riders by the designated safety demonstrator. The C147A Dash 8 takes off 30-40 minutes prior to time on target. The flight pattern is established, black and gold wind drift indicators are dropped and they climb to altitude.

For four decades, the TITAN Aerobatic Team has thrilled audiences all over North and Central America with their tight formations, billowing smoke systems and attention-getting radial engines. The Titan Team thrills millions every year, and has become one of the most recognizable and well-known air show performance teams in the world. This group will perform in both the day & night airshows at Wings Over Wausau.

GhostWriter Airshow is a true 3-act performer! We can start the show with our 350hp, 200mph, screaming, smoking airshow display. We raise the crowd to their feet and let everyone know the show has begun! Looping, rolling and long verticals show the crowd what a 50’s era trainer on steroids can do.
Come night time, the GhostWriter puts on a celebration of light over dark with 4000 LED lights and over 250lbs of pyrotechnics attached to the airplane. In addition, you’ll see the plane writing in the sky before, during and after the airshows each day! This is a nationally-recognized act you don’t want to miss.
