Making at least three separate trips to China? Wonder what the reason is. The date for Prescott should be October 5.

Thanks for the date. Updated the schedule.

As for the multiple trips to China, not sure. And 2 of them coincide with US dates he has.

Prometheus 1 was shipped to China last month, so I assume he’ll store the plane somewhere over there in between the 3 shows. He will then fly Prometheus 2 here in the USA and Mexico.

I'm sure you're right. Several pilots and teams have aircraft based out there long-term, in addition to an entire seperate fleet back at home. The Yakovlevs, Global Stars and Team Extreme, for exanple. Under some arrangements you'll be looked after by a Chinese promotor who will handle shipping, storage and bookings, all you have to do is turn up and fly on the dates they ask. It's several times more lucrative than displaying in the west and my team are looking into a similar arrangement for the near future. There are several problems though, one being that China's not really geared up for GA, so even if you do two shows just a few miles apart, you'll still need to dismantle the plane and stick it in a container for the journey.

A fellow named Tico Lacerda will be flying P1 for the first China show while Skip flies P2 in Cape Girardeau per a Facebook reply to a comment I made on a post about doing 2 shows on the same weekend.
