Caldwell, Idaho -- The skies over Caldwell will be buzzing with planes of all shapes an sizes this weekend. Pilots are getting set to take flight at this year's Celebration of Flight Air Show.

"Tumble it nose over tail, hover it like a helicopter. Do the kind of things that audiences just look and go. I can't believe it. I've never seen anything like that before," said air show pilot Greg Poe.

Poe is a passionate air show performer.

"The first time I did aerobatics and felt that freedom, that ability to go straight up in the sky, I was hooked for life," he said.

Poe owns the appropriately named, Caldwell-based Greg Poe Airshows. He's in demand. And he will be flying his brand new, ethanol-powered Fagen MXS at 23 shows up and down the West Coast this year. He invited 12 News along to watch him practice.

"Very high energy. Fast, fast movement. A lot G's . A very explosive kind of performance," he said. Read the entire Fox 12 transcript HERE
