Minong, WI - May 2, 2015 - For more than a century, air shows featuring daring feats by military and civilian aircrafts have dazzled crowds, brought families together and rallied support for those who serve our country. This year at the Bethpage Air Show, more than 400,000 people will see the Screamin’ Sasquatch™, Jack Link’s® Jet Waco perform maneuvers no other aircraft can, on an all-American holiday weekend commemorating Memorial Day.

The Screamin’ Sasquatch will be a marquee, must-see performance at this year’s show, as the airplane features the Barnstormers-era 1929 Taperwing Waco body, modified in a way that would have shocked its original pilots. In addition to the Taperwing’s large radial engine, the Screamin’ Sasquatch carries a jet engine, which triples the amount of available power. With total thrust exceeding the weight of the airplane, it is uniquely capable of intensely powerful aerobatic flight like no other plane, such as extreme vertical climbs, flat-spins, snap rolls, torque rolls and even a “hover,” which the Screamin’ Sasquatch can then power itself out of to regain forward flight.

Jack Link’s has partnered with John Klatt Airshows to make the Screamin’ Sasquatch to life. Jeff Boerboon, a U.S. Unlimited Aerobatics Champion, will pilot the Screamin’ Sasquatch.

Jack Link’s will be highly visible as part of this partnership. From the classic barnstorming design on the Screamin’ Sasquatch, to product sampling with the Jack Link’s Wild Side Truck and appearances by brand icon Sasquatch, spectators will be able to immerse themselves in the untamed spirit of the brand. The partnership also provides another opportunity for the brand to demonstrate its strong heritage of supporting the U.S. military. As a top-armed service food supplier, Jack Link’s has been supporting the U.S. military since the organization’s foundation.
