Jeff Zaltman, Director of Flying Aces Ltd and Airsports.tv commented: “There are thousands of
aerobatic flying clubs, aerobatic pilots and aerobatic flight fans world wide who won’t get the chance
to attend WAC 2009. The live broadcast will give those people an opportunity to take part in the
adrenalin fuelled excitement of this prestigious event by tuning in to the final rounds online on Friday
and Saturday as well as the Air Show. We look forward to bringing those people the most exciting
event on the air sports calendar and are proud to be able to do.”

The Championships will bring together 60 of the world’s best pilots, from 15 countries, for a two week
long battle in high‐powered, super‐agile 250mph, 10G monoplanes. By Saturday, a ‘Technical’ World
Champion will be decided, and then the WAC will culminate in the Top 20 pilots final to decide who
takes away the ‘Freestyle’ title.

The WAC Air show on Saturday afternoon starts at 3pm BST and features among other things the
stunning delta wing Vulcan aircraft, a subsonic jet bomber that was operated by the Royal Air Force
from 1953 until 1984.
