July 2022
One of the headliners of the 2022 Truckee Tahoe AirShow & Family Festival was Canadian airshow pilot Anna Serbinenko, who performs in her Super Decathlon named ‘Sky Dancer’. First flown in 1970, the Super Decathlon is designed for general aviation use but is also capable of sustaining aerobatic loads of +6g/−5g, making this aircraft popular for aerobatic training and competition. Champion began production in 1972, just before they were acquired by Bellanca who ceased production in 1981. American Champion acquired the design in 1990 and resumed production which continues today.
