Among his 2700+ airshow performances have been appearances in his first airplane, the Pitts Special S-1S, demos in the BD-4 homebuilt and Bellanca Decathlon, thrilling comedy routines in Piper Cubs and Cessna 150s, and of course his outstanding performances with the Red Devils, now known as the Eagles Aerobatic Flight Team, with Charlie Hillard and Tom Poberezny in their Christen Eagle 1's.
Teresa Stokes has been wing walking on Gene Soucy’s Showcat since 1988.
The Showcat is a modified Grumman Ag Cat biplane flown by Gene Soucy in the style of the old Hollywood barnstormers. The Showcat features clipped wings for improved roll rate performance, a five-point smoke system, and inverted fuel and oil system in its 450hp Pratt & Whitney engine. With special wiring for pyrotechnics, it also performs the nighttime "Fireflight," a dazzling display of airborne fireworks mounted on the wings and tail.
