Home of American Barnstormer Walt Pierce & the
Double Trouble Wing Walking Team
"Walt [has been] flying airshows since 1963. 
His memory of events and people is phenomenal and a national asset. 
Pierce has flown many many airshows across the Carolinas,
known many of the airshow greats and continues to carry on the tradition of the
Barnstormer."
Quoted from Hugh Oldham's Proairshow site

"A barnstormer often was part stunt pilot, part showman, part grease monkey, part entrepreneur." 
quoted from Barnstorming pilots always drew a crowd by Joe Earle (The Wichita Eagle, December 3, 1984)
