The Show

With its elegant tasteful livery and stylish checkerboard bottom wing motif, Classic Airshows Super Chipmunk carries on the tradition of low-wing tandem style first set by the 200 Ranger STA of John Gosney. Mark Meredith’s classic DHC-1 Chipmunk airframe is a retro mashup of the Super Chipmunks flown by such greats as Hal Krier, Art Scholl and Skip Volk, and Gosney’s STA stylings.

The airshow experience delivered by Mark is refreshingly old-school, a flowing display of energy management and aerobatic elegance, harkening back to a salient period in American aerobatics. The Super Chippy will be a welcome addition to any airshow lineup, especially as an opener. At once lyrical and entrancing, this display will be the talk of your airshow.

Flying shows as a Spitfire-sleek single seater with the front cockpit covered, it is easily converted to a two seat configuration offering press day rides, a valuable asset to any airshow director. Round out your presentation by booking the nostalgic entertainment of Mark Meredith in the Super Chippy.
