Pilot - Peter Jacobs

Pete has been flying in air shows since 1999, first with his ex-Navy T-28, and more recently with ANGEL 7. Living in a fly-in community in Daytona Beach, Pete says of this experience: "It's wonderful having the ability to work, fly with and learn from Air Force and Navy veterans, airshow performers and career airline pilots. All have been a tremendous source of inspiration and guidance. Since the safe operation of my aircraft is my principal objective and concern, the experience which surrounds me is the best teacher I could possibly have." Pete adds: "It's great to see the pride and patriotism generated by ANGEL 7. I'm proud to display the plane and delighted that it is so well received."

Pete is a member of ICAS, EAA's Warbirds of America, AOPA and the Classic Jet Aircraft Association. He is presently the Wing Leader of the Commemorative Air Force's Florida Wing.
