We are the Full Throttle Formation Team from Atlanta Georgia. Our pilots are all aviation professionals with more than 300,000 total hours of flight experience in military and commercial aircraft. We fly “Van's Aircraft” experimental aircraft, many of which were built by the pilots who fly them.
Our mission is to Entertain airshow audiences throughout America and Inspire our spectators to follow in our footsteps to experience the joys of flight. In addition to performing thrilling airshow displays, we Educate future aviators on ways to open the door to careers in aviation.
When the Full Throttle Formation Team performs in your area, we are more than a one-act show. We interact with your community and actively support local STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) programs. Many of our pilots are FAA certified flight instructors, and all of us are actively involved in community events such as the EAA Young Eagles introductory flight program.
We offer the following for STEM:
We may not be Da Vincis, but each of us started life by looking up. We took differing paths, but we've reached that dream. Our team flies the Vans RV aircraft in close formation, enticing you to turn your eyes skyward to enjoy the spectacle of precision, noise, and smoke!
Every flight begins with an in-depth briefing. Every flight. Every practice flight requires the same preparation, concentration, and attention to detail as a performance flight.
